ASPI is generally a right-wing think tank (hawkish at best) but sometimes, they make a good point:

" In May, researchers at #GreyNoise uncovered a stealthy #backdoor campaign targeting Asus #routers. These devices are common in Australian homes and small businesses.

The attack, likely state-aligned, was technically advanced but strategically ordinary. These routers aren’t outliers. They are the default #target."

On the Fediverse, most are keenly aware of how bad the Internet has become (Courtesy of #TechBross and company). And it can only get worse before (hopefully) it gets back to better.

So the closing paragraphs of this article are relevent:

"We’ve normalised a digital environment where critical #risk is quietly embedded in the devices we trust most and manage least. This #threat is already plugged in.

If Australia wants to secure its digital future, it must start with the devices we hand out by default. Because the quietest risks often carry the loudest consequences."

As to the rest of the article, I'll leave it up to you but it's worth a read IMO
