US and allies warn of Russian critical infrastructure attacks

Cybersecurity agencies from the United States and eight allied nations released a joint warning that Russian state-sponsored hackers are exploiting vulnerable and misconfigured routers to gain access to critical infrastructure networks. The campaign represents a continued effort by Russian threat actors to establish footholds in essential systems that could be leveraged for future attacks or disruptions.

Why it matters: Critical infrastructure operators and network defenders need to audit router configurations, apply patches, and monitor for unauthorized access to prevent espionage, operational disruption, or sabotage by a well-resourced adversary.
