Distribution

The critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) bug found in 92,000 D-Link Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices is now being targeted in attacks, cybersecurity experts warned on Thursday.

Exploitation

Security researchers at Digital Defense first disclosed the vulnerability affecting D-Link NAS devices last month. The flaw can be exploited by remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to the devices and execute code, effectively taking control of them.

Vulnerable Devices

According to reports, around 6,000 of the 92,000 vulnerable D-Link NAS devices have already been compromised as hackers exploit the RCE bug. The remaining devices are at high risk of falling victim to similar attacks if left unpatched.

Response

D-Link issued a security advisory acknowledging the vulnerability and urging customers to update their devices with newly released patches. However, many users have yet to apply the necessary updates, leaving their NAS devices vulnerable to exploitation.

Impact

The exploitation of the RCE bug in D-Link NAS devices poses a serious threat to data security and privacy. With hackers gaining unauthorized access and control over the devices, sensitive information stored on them could be compromised or stolen.

Recommendations

Cybersecurity experts are advising all D-Link NAS device owners to promptly install the latest firmware updates to mitigate the risk of falling victim to these attacks. Additionally, users are encouraged to regularly monitor their devices for any unusual activity and implement strong security measures to protect against future threats.
