Re: Dark hole in home IT security.
It's not just Huawei
Anarchist/Wicked (the author of the exploit) is quite smart. He uses a vulnerability the manufacturer refuses to patch. He also mentions, and which has been verified, that his next target is Realtek routers.
Does this sound familiar? Yes, this is the next "wave" of Mirai/brickerbot. But instead of using the default username/password combo, the author has targeted something more difficult to fix by the user of the router.
One way of fixing this is to name-and-shame Huawei. With current environment where western nations are questioning the quality of Huawei's codes, throwing this into the mix might just get a reaction.
