Submission + - "Pharming" : Almost 80 Cisco routers vulne
coondoggie writes: "Cisco today issued a warning that almost 80 of its Small Office/Home Office (SOHO), Remote Office/Branch Office (ROBO) and Teleworker business routers may be vulnerable to a new JavaScript-based security threat dubbed "Drive-by Pharming." Symantec and the Indiana University School of Informatics coined the term Pharming in a report and white paper issued last week. As discussed here, "drive-by pharming" lets a hacker change the DNS settings on a user's home broadband router or wireless access point. The attack is possible whenever a broadband router is not password protected or the attacker manages to guess the password.
