GreyNoise Discovers Stealthy Backdoor Campaign Affecting Thousands of ASUS Routers

GreyNoise identified a stealthy campaign exploiting ASUS routers through CVE-2023-39780 and unpatched methods to establish persistent backdoor access affecting thousands of devices. The attackers employ evasion techniques designed to avoid detection. Defenders need awareness of these tactics to identify and remediate compromised routers.

Why it matters: Organizations and individuals running ASUS routers face persistent backdoor compromise; security teams should immediately identify exposed devices, verify patching status for CVE-2023-39780, and investigate any suspicious network behavior on affected routers.
