No Support Offered by D-Link
D-Link confirmed in its announcement that it will not be offering a solution to this problem so owners need simply to find an alternative to keep their data safe. It writes: “If a product has reached the End of Support or End of Life, it typically does not receive further extended support or development.”
The company further explains: “Typically, D-Link cannot resolve device or firmware issues for these products since all development and customer support have ceased.”
This is the second backdoor flaw that the researcher has found for these devices this year so time is of the essence for customers.
D-Link device owners can check off their model with the list provided by the manufacturer. The company recommends strongly that any vulnerable devices are retired and removed from networks. With vulnerabilities already identified, it is only a matter of time before they are exploited, if they haven’t been already.
