Someone has been quietly backdooring selected Juniper routers around the world in key sectors including semiconductor, energy, and manufacturing, since at least mid-2023.
Gee who is really interested in securing semiconductor technologies these past few years.
I wonder who could be behind this attack, probably Zimbabwe.
“Someone”… 👀
I couldn’t really tell from the article, are they somehow infecting existing routers or is this being installed during manufacturing?
It’s a backdoor - they’re sending specific commands over the network to devices that were made vulnerable by design but in an obfuscated way.

What bot?
That’s exactly what a bot would say.
Got me there.
There isn’t a bot here.
The bot is on the original instance this was reposted from.

Yes, very.
Imagine I took a photo with your friend, your friend showed you the photo and you saw my picture. You wouldn’t ask why I was here with you, because I’m not there.
I think OP’s wording wasn’t super clear. A bot created the original post on !technology@lemmit.online, but a human saw the bot’s post there, and decided to cross-post it here to !technology@lemmy.world.
Lemmit takes posts from Reddit and imports them into Lemmy. I cross-posted one of those posts here. I do that when there’s an interesting one I think more people would like.
