"Recently, security researchers at DroneBL identified a botnet, named psyb0t, which attacks DSL modems and routers. It searches out and takes advantage of particular devices with ports opened to the Internet using a weak password. Once the worm enters a router, it blocks ports and could possibility do more damage by exposing sensitive information and/or attack other networks."
