Complete list of wifi routers from WikiLeaks' Cherry Blossom release detailing CIA hacking tools
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 85%. (I'm a bot)
The latest release, published June 15, is a batch of documents describing tools that can be used to hack home wifi routers.
The collection of tools, which the documents refer to as "CherryBlossom," can be used to monitor internet activity on networks that use the routers it infects.
So while it's clear that the CherryBlossom project targeted the following list of routers, it is not clear which have been successfully compromised.
Again, while it's clear that the CherryBlossom project targeted the following list of routers, it is not clear which have been successfully compromised.
Within the CherryBlossom release, there are also documents that appear to target seven specific routers for use with "Flytrap." Flytrap is a tool CherryBlossom uses to "Beacon over the Internet to a Command & Control server referred to as the CherryTree," according to WikiLeaks.
Linksys: WRT320N, WRT54G, WRT300N, WRT54GL, WRT54GL. There are also two separate lists of devices in the CherryBlossom documents, named "Flytrap - Inventory" and "Flytrap - Inventory." These inventories appear to be lists of equipment used by a particular department within the CherryBlossom project, and many of the devices they list are very old, dating back to 2004.
