Those of you who have been too lazy to change the default password of your router might want to change it before Chuck Norris hits it. According to Czech researchers, the Chuck Norris botnet has been hitting DSL modems and routers that are not secure. This botnet behaves differently as it goes for modems and routers instead of attacking the PCs themselves. Infected routers go after other systems on the Web in a DDOS attack.

Why the name? Well, part of the malware’s commented code contains the phrase “in nome di Chuck Norris” or “in the name of Chuck Norris”, and we all know that Chuck can break anything right?

The botnet resides in the router’s RAM so a restart should get rid of it. To prevent infection, just make sure you have a good password preferably something different than the default one. Finally, what’s an article about Chuck without a picture right? Here you go.
