The US Investigation Fund of the Federal Board of Information (FBI) has warned Internet users and consumers worldwide that a Russian malware program is moving viruses into computers through routers and is affecting the systems.

According to a New York Times report, the FBI announced that the malware mentioned is capable of blocking web traffic, data collection and closing the device completely.

According to the FBI, initially users and companies will reboot their routers connected to the Internet and then turn on after a while, the problem will be resolved temporarily.

On the other hand, users have also been instructed to upgrade Device Firmware and change passwords. According to experts, at least 5 million routers of 54 countries have been affected by this malware.
According to the report, the group known as the APT 28 and Fancy Bear is being told that it is controlled by the Russian Military Intelligence Agency.
