You see this notification on the Trend Micro Home Network Security app:
"Remote DNS Change Exploit"
Why did this happen?
Attackers are trying to access or change the DNS server of your network into their own DNS server by exploiting a vulnerable DNS configuration or by using brute force on your D-Link device (DSL-526B ADSL2+ AU_2.01).
What are its risks?
Since this type of attack does not require any user intervention, the user’s information, especially banking information, can be stolen by the attackers. This information can be used for theft or blackmail.
What should I do next?
- Change the default password of the router and create a much stronger password. Check your router’s manual or handbook for the instructions on changing your router’s password. Show me how.
- Apply the most recent patch or firmware updates from your router’s vendor website and allow only trusted users to have network access. Show me how.
What if I have more questions?
