Timing seems to relevant to the recent FDA ban of all foreign made routers. Im guessing this will give them something to point at to scare people some more.

"The actor ran a proxy service as the AitM that the end user was directed to via DNS. The only sign of this attack would be a pop-up warning about connecting to an untrusted source because of the “break and inspect.”"
That's the biggest warning you will ever get that something is wrong. If you fall for this, maybe you should not be on the internet.

The article doesn't mention it, but I'm assuming this was older kit with a factory standard user/pass and "remote support" enabled without source IP control.
Terrible idea then; worse idea now.
Yet ISPs still do it and complain when you fix it at your end. 😬

I'm calling bs. This reads like red scare propaganda to go along with their ban on foreign routers, claiming security risk
A lot of propaganda there. US/Western 'intelligence' and corporate partners are guilty of warmongering, lying to their populations and war-crimes.

"An estimated 18,000 to 40,000 consumer routers, mostly those made by MikroTik and TP-Link..."
To the surprise of absolutely no one.
