Security researchers find surveillance implants in Chinese-made routers sold worldwide. Three different backdoor-like implants hidden in firmware.
"Due to its usefulness and low cost, it’s not surprising the device has been relabeled around the globe. In the United States, the platform found its way into products aimed at people on the move, including Lippert Components WiFi On-The-Go and Wave WiFi’s MBR 500/550 series. Australia’s OneX rebrands the ZBT-WE826 as the RV WIFI Route. In Canada, MOFI Network sold the MOFI4500-4GXeLTE, and its FCC filing includes a schematic titled ZBT-WE826. The router’s MAC address also falls within Zhibotong’s 78:A3:51 address block. The pattern is hard to miss: the same ZBT platform shows up under different names, in different countries, and for different use cases."
