Black Duck Researchers Discover Flaw in Widely Used Broadcom ChipsetA flaw in Broadcom chipsets commonly used in wireless routers allows attackers to repeatedly knock offline the 5 gigahertz band, no matter how strong the security settings, say researchers.
Pedestrians Uniquely Refract Directional Radio SignalsThe way you use your walk - specifically when striding through a Wi-Fi field shaped by directional antennae - can reveal who you are, found researchers who investigated the surveillance potential of wireless routers. "Every router is a potential surveillance device," say researchers.
A security flaw impacting the Wi-Fi Test Suite could enable unauthenticated local attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges
VPN Endpoints, Wireless Routers and Network-Attached Storage Devices Are TargetsOperators behind a mysterious botnet named for a TCP routing port number are expanding the universe of targeted devices and taking steps to hide their infrastructure, warn Sekoia researchers. The 7777 - or Quad7 - botnet appears to have emerged in 2023.
Starlink Routers in Ukraine and Gaza Trackable via Apple WPS, Researchers WarnApple's Wi-Fi-based positioning system can be abused to track the live location of various types of devices around the globe, including Starlink routers in war zones, researchers warn. Until Apple puts in place more defenses, they say the system will continue to pose a "large-scale privacy threat."

Apple and the satellite-based broadband service Starlink each recently took steps to address new research into the potential security and privacy implications of how their services geo-locate devices. Researchers from the University of Maryland say they relied on publicly available data from Apple to track the location of billions of devices globally -- including non-Apple devices like Starlink systems -- and found they could use this data to monitor the destruction of Gaza, as well as the movements and in many cases identities of Russian and Ukrainian troops.
