Security reports from Cisco and Symantec are giving off. Believed to be state-affiliated or, worse, state-sponsored, the modular VPNFilter malware has already infected around 500,000 routers, not just collecting data but even possibly rendering them completely useless at the push of a button.
VPNFilter state-affiliated malware pose lethal threat to routers
This does look like a bad router malware which is difficult for most users to detect since most routers don't have antivirus and antimalware scanners.
Using a software firewall in Windows and VPN connection, or proxy server can be a good idea since you don't always know or easily find out if the router you are using is hacked, or your home router is hacked unless you can view what tasks are running on your router.
