UPnProxy infiltrates home routers — Research Saturday

Researchers at Akamai recently published a white paper titled UPnProxy: Blackhat proxies via NAT Injections.

In it, they describe vulnerabilities with Universal Plug and Play capabilities in home routers, and how malicious actors could take advantage of them. 

Chad Seaman is a senior CERT engineer at Akamai, and he's our guide. 

The CyberWire's Research Saturday is presented by the Hewlett Foundation Cyber Initiative.
