I began to suspect maybe my Mac machine had been infected my browser warned me (Google Chrome) saying this website was not secure. It redirected sites like to a phishing site that (I think) I caught before my children gave away their credentials. My ASUS home router was apparently hacked and a rogue DNS server in Dubai added to the configuration. This tweet from three days ago seems to describe an incident very similar to what you experienced: (This is routinely done with Microsoft security updates.) Such "1-day exploits" are comparatively cheap to develop.Īlso, this looks like it's part of a more wide-spread recent attack. Diffing firmware releases to reverse-engineer what parts were patched is usually quite straightforward, even without access to the original source.

The latest release 3.0.0.4.382.50010 () comes with lots of security fixes, including RCE vulnerabilities which may have been exploited here. The router possibly got compromised through an unpatched vulnerability in its firmware. Yes, your router's primary DNS entry was pointed to a rogue DNS server to make devices in your network resolve and other domains to phishing sites instead. I did not have the default passwords set. I have reported the IP to the Dubai based web host and am waiting for a response.Īsus AC87U, FW Version 3.0.0.4.380.7743 (1 release behind) I suspect they're based in the US I don't believe Walmart operates outside of the states (at least not in the UK). When I entered this into a browser I could see that the person had created a number of sites to try and capture logins. I try to keep my router firmware up to date (although I was maybe 1 release behind at the time of this post).īefore I changed the Primary DNS setting back and I wanted to find out more about this phishing site, so I ran ping to find the IP address was 185.82.200.152. My question is: "How could the DNS have been changed/What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

No one has access to my router administration page aside from me on the network, and I have disabled access to the router outside of the local network I can see outside access was enabled, on initial setup this was definitely switched off.

I knew straight away that the DNS had been changed, the primary address should have been 8.8.4.4. In my settings however I found the following IP's: Primary: 185.183.96.174 I had initially set my DNS settings to use Google's servers, although this was set many years ago I knew the were something along the lines of 8.8.*.*. Lo and behold, when digging into the DNS settings I could see that the settings looked a little odd. I then turned to my router to have a look at its settings. To me this sounded like something to do with DNS as the chances that both my devices were infected were very unlikely. I began to suspect maybe my Mac machine had been infected, so I switched to my iPhone (on the same WiFi network), tried and got shown the exact same page.

I dug in a little deeper to the source code for the page and could see that the source code was way too simplified for a large corporation the only piece of JS was to verify that the email address was in the right format. This started ringing alarm bells in my mind, I clicked "Continue Anyway" and was greeted with this page:īeing (somewhat of) a web designer/developer I pay attention to the little details on a website and I knew instantly this was not what the Apple homepage looks like, and they certainly didn't prompt you to login on their homepage. However then I noticed something really weird, when I tried to visit my browser warned me (Google Chrome) saying this website was not secure. I went online on my Macbook today and noticed my iTunes complaining that it couldn't connect to Apple, I tried logging out and in of my account but weirdly it said it couldn't log in I didn't think much of it at first as I thought maybe it was iTunes just being more buggy than usual.
