Brazilian hackers remotely took over 4.5 million home routers, and compromised their DNS settings in their plot to make a fortune.
Fabio Assolini, a researcher for Kaspersky Labs, gave a fascinating presentation at the Virus Bulletin conference in Dallas last week, describing how more than 4.5 million home DSL routers in Brazil were found to have been silently hacked by cybercriminals last year.
Fixing the problem, however, was not so easy. The automated remote hacks of millions of ADSL modems had not just changed the devices' DNS settings - they had also changed the password to access the device to phrases like "dn5ch4ng3" and "cg4ng3dn5", meaning that users could no longer get in via their admin panels. If only they had known the exploit too..

EU startet Cyberkrieg-Manöver
4. Oktober 2012 von Manfred Kohlen
Dass die Politik ebenfalls längst reagiert hat, ist weniger bekannt: Schon 2009 entschied eine Ministerialkonferenz in Tallinn, der Hauptstadt Estlands (wo 2007 laut Kamluk die politisch motivierten Internetkriege begonnen hatten), dass die europäischen Länder unter Anleitung der EU-Sicherheitsagentur ENISA 2010 mit Manövern “zum Schutz kritischer Informations-Infrastrukturen” beginnen sollen.

Some of the US government's most sensitive networks were reportedly infiltrated by hackers, in a worrying development in the escalating ‘cyber war' taking place between nations.
According to US website FreeBeacon, the attack was instigated by Chinese attackers and infiltrated several aspects of its network, including the system used by the White House Military Office for nuclear commands.
A subsequent statement given to FoxNews.com appeared to tacitly confirm the attack, although did not make any direct reference to China and played down the extent of the threat to the nation.
