In a significant cybersecurity development, the FBI Boston has spearheaded an international operation, culminating in the release of a joint Cybersecurity Advisory. This advisory warns against Russian state-sponsored cyber actors exploiting compromised Ubiquiti EdgeRouters to conduct malicious cyber operations.
