There is a backdoor vulnerability where a password isn't required to access your settings.

Vulnerable firmware that has been confirmed
DIR-100, DI-524, DI-524UP, DI-604S, DI-604UP, DI-604+, TM-G5240

Possibly a bit too technical for most on here but interesting if you want to see how hackers work.

Some DIR-615 are also affected, including those distributed by Virgin Mobile....

If I find a fix or work around for this I will post.

Luckily I don't have any D Link hardware, but the link in your post doesn't seem to work.

No, this is a backdoor to the entire router.

From there they can as just one example;

Change your DNS settings so it points to a compromised DNS server. This could do all sorts such redirect you to fake bank sites. Redirect you to a forward proxy and listen to everything you send/receive.

The list of possible risks is huge. They basically become a man in the middle of all your communications.

I don`t use a D link but a T P link router-

Could they get through by guessing the pre set admin password on line or through some where else :whatthe:

This only affects D-Link routers. They messed up when programming it is all.

D-Link have now announced they are working on a fix.

You can find details here.

PS: Link has downloads for firmware upgrades.

i use a Thompson router as supplied by AOL many years ago.

when it quit a mate gave me a new one but could not get the original aol supplied password.

dont know what i did but i can now change all the parameters via the routers 'dashboard' but cant access the ADMIN page.

all i need is the routers access code on the rear label in this format. o.oo.oo.o.o.
or something like that.

Absolutely fascinating-wish I was about 40 yrs younger and could learn and take part in hacking for fun-not to be malicious,just to be able to do it.
Respect,yo.
