About this talk

The STRIKE Threat Intelligence team at SecurityScorecard has just unveiled a new research report on a sweeping espionage operation weaponizing home routers into a global spying operation. The report on Operation WrtHug underscores a critical shift in global espionage: State-backed actors are systematically co-opting consumer devices like your home router to build pervasive spy networks. Join SecurityScorecard's STRIKE Team—Gilad F. Maizles (Security Researcher), Marty Kareem (Signals Collection Engineer), and Ryan Sherstobitoff (Field Chief Threat Intelligence Officer)—alongside Shannon Vavra, award-winning journalist and Senior Content Writer at SecurityScorecard, for a discussion of the findings and implications of this global espionage campaign: • The Unique Digital Fingerprint: How STRIKE unearthed thousands of compromised ASUS routers worldwide. • The Geopolitical Web at Play: Why the operation heavily focused on Taiwan and how the attack's methods align with previously observed China-affiliated campaigns. • The End-of-Life Threat: Key mitigation steps against attacks that exploit End-of-Life (EoL) devices.
