Adobe patch installer virus
Perhaps it's a wise business decision for the sandwich shop to purchase a new one with better security (in the interest of protecting its customers). If the firmware is from 2009, I won't ask how old the router is. I suspect it's possible the router may not re-flash with the same version of the firmware that it already has. I would think the answer to "can this be fixed" will require thorough documentation from the manufacturer or support, or some try-and-error with firmware flashing. With a weak WEP/WPA password, it's certainly possible though. I am not entirely sure if all routers support that configuration.įor a regular Jane/Joe, this is less likely to happen the attacker would have had to be on the local wireless network. However, with a wireless access point set up purposefully for "public" access, the router should be configured to not allow access to the management interface over wireless (only wired LAN access). Remote management didn't have to be enabled for someone INSIDE the sandwich shop to access the router. I am just going to take a stab at one of your sub questions at this time: "Remote management isn't enabled.
How can I confirm it has it (all signs point to it) with some curl command?.Can this router (and others like it) be fixed? Or is this bricked? Can I flash it with the original firmware to restore?.Comments like "run openwrt" are certainly valid for a techie, but I'd like to know something more populist: I'm technical, but the public is often not.The firmware is ancient from 2009 and that's the latest one I can find. I'm suspecting the "Moon" virus but I'm not sure, as this isn't a Linksys. The router he has is a V1000W Wireless N VDSL Modem Router. The requestor doesn't know the difference.
It's a MitM attack (Man in the Middle) where x number of HTTP GETs work fine and then every few hundred the router returns it's own HTML. Also, it's not a DNS hijack, as the URL from the HTTP doesn't change.
This affects their PoS (Point of Sale) system, tablets, iPhones. There are no viruses, rootkits, or malware on my PC.

The scenario: My local sandwich shop where I often hang out and work remotely has a wireless router that started to redirect me to a fake "update your flash" and download a "Install flashplayer_10924_i13445851_il345.exe" malware file. Bear with me, for now this will be a tiny post, a placeholder, but I am looking for feedback, ideas, comments and I will keep this post updated.
