Cisco says 77 of its routers open to 'drive-by pharming'Computerworld, MA - 4 hours ago
February 20, 2007 (Computerworld) -- Cisco Systems Inc. is warning users that nearly 80 of its routers are vulnerable to a hack tactic that got play last week.

Dubbed "drive-by pharming" by Symantec Corp. and university researchers who first publicized the danger in a paper, the attack involves luring users to malicious sites where a device's default password is used to redirect them to bogus sites. Once they are at those sites, their identities could be stolen or malware could be force-fed to their computers.

Millions Vulnerable to New Hack AttackSci-Tech Today - Feb 19, 2007
Drive-by pharming is dangerous not only because it directs users to malicious sites, but also because an attacker can permanently change router settings, exposing unwitting victims to ongoing attacks. Symantec recommends that users change their /default router passwords and employ a multilayered security strategy.
