Chinese hackers are reportedly using a new tactic, exploiting vulnerabilities in routers to gather information.
From The Epoch Times. A Chinese hacker group is targeting routers made by a major U.S. manufacturer, taking advantage of outdated software and hardware to hijack routers and access computer networks, a cybersecurity firm warned Wednesday.

It’s a new tactic in an increasingly sophisticated cybercrime landscape, according to the firm.
Mandiant, a Google subsidiary known for outing Chinese hackers, reported in a blog post March 12 that the state-backed hacker group UNC3886 targeted routers made by Juniper Networks.
The Silicon Valley-based tech company is a main competitor to Cisco, the leader in the U.S. router market. …
In mid-2024, Mandiant found that attackers had deployed a program that accessed victims’ computers by disabling login mechanisms.
Once in the system, the program could carry out active backdoor functions, which directly interfered with the system, or passive backdoor functions—“eavesdropping” or gathering information.
Mandiant noted that the back doors were based on an open-source, low-maintenance program named TINYSHELL.
According to Mandiant, the vulnerability that enabled the intrusions was the use of routers running outdated or “end-of-life” hardware and software.
A New Tactic
Mandiant noted that in 2022 and 2023, it reported that hacker group UNC3886 had breached server software such as VMware ESXi, Linux vCenter servers, and Windows virtual machines. …
Compromising routing devices is a new espionage tactic, the report said, “as it grants the capability for a long-term, high-level access to the crucial routing infrastructure, with a potential for more disruptive actions in the future.”
Mandiant described UNC3886 as “highly adept.” The hacker group’s modus operandi is to acquire “legitimate credentials” and use them to operate undetected. …
The report noted the group’s focus on military, tech, and communication enterprises in the United States and Asia. …

Almighty, loving, heavenly Father,
Yahweh,
Most holy and revered is your name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,
on earth, as it is in heaven. (our good for your glory)
Give us, this day, our daily bread (your wisdom and help in preparing for your interim intercessions and eventual return),
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us (mercifully disciplining and effectively teaching us your perfect love, and to not judge them).
Lead us not into temptation (toward prideful self-reliance), but deliver us from the evil one (SNATCH us from ALL temptations to submit to Satan’s deceptive, bullying and oppressive tactics).
For THINE is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever. HALLELUJAH! Amen!
In Jesus’ most precious name, THANK you, YHWH.
we agree full discovery of every evil plot and devine logistics going forward always a step or two ahead of this chess game that’s being played. man plans his way but
God directs his steps we declare super natural wisdom and insight a spirit of wisdom and knowledge on our leaders as they navigate forward we agree
Thank you Father for detecting this evil crime that is occurring. Coming together in prayer, we stand against it! As we all know, the enemy always enters the backdoor to steal , kill and to destroy. In this case to spy and gather information illegally. For shame on the Chinese hackers. Heavenly Father we ask that you would bless cyber crime units of the United States of America with Divine Intel and ingenuity to develop the most sophisticated secure program in the routers that would prevent hacking activities. Deploy your angel armies to rid this crime against humanity. Put a stop to the disruption. In the name above all names Jesus. Amen
Lord, You inspired the human intellect to create electronic media which has simplified our lives but now leads us into easily being deceived and vulnerable to devastating attacks. Only you, Lord, have the wisdom and understanding to protect us from our enemies we cannot see, who come to destroy our safety and security. Help us to pray and trust you at all times, especially in difficult situations and to depend on your help in all situations. We thank you for your Love that never fails. Amen
Oh Father, I pray in agreement with Maggie. Protect us from those who would destroy us. We praise your name.
