Linksys Velop routers send Wi-Fi passwords in plaintext to US servers
Link
📌 Summary:
Testaankoop, the Belgian equivalent of the Consumers' Association, discovered that two Linksys routers, the Velop Pro 6E and Velop Pro 7 mesh routers, are sending Wi-Fi login details in plaintext to Amazon (AWS) servers in the US. This security breach allows attackers to intercept the communication between the routers and the Amazon server, potentially capturing the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password as they are transmitted in plaintext. Despite being warned in November, Linksys has not taken effective measures to address this issue. The recommended solution is to change the Wi-Fi network name and password via the web interface instead of the app. Mesh routers like the Velop series are designed to improve Wi-Fi distribution in large or multi-story homes but can be vulnerable to this type of security breach. Testaankoop suspects the issue may be related to third-party software used in the Linksys firmware, but it does not excuse the vulnerability. The researchers strongly advise against buying these routers due to the serious risk of network intrusion and data loss. Snowflake is now mandating Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all user accounts to mitigate security risks.
