C0XMO botnet spreads via DD-WRT router flaw, kills rival malware
- C0XMO botnet exploits DD-WRT routers to wipe rival malware. It’s a digital turf war, not a rescue mission. Your router is the battlefield; your data is the collateral. Hype says “cool tech”; reality says your IoT devices are now cannon fodder. Don’t let your firmware become a graveyard for other bots. Update DD-WRT immediately, disable remote admin, and change default credentials. If you’re still running outdated router OS, you’re not a user—you’re a target. Stay secure, stay skeptical, and keep your OPSEC tighter than a drum.
