   Came across this today.. RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router

   "Vulnerabilities - Due in large part to an exposed $root share on the NVRAM   
   for Samba service, which was discovered in March of this year by another   
   researcher, on almost all of the above models that have enabled AiCloud   
   service, the end users will find themselves exposed to multiple methods of   
   attack and several dangerous remote exploits," Lovett wrote. The Linux-based   
   routers also expose credentials in clear text.   
      
   Once an attacker enters legitimate credentials on the RT-N16 and N16R routers,   
   they are able to control the admin console on the LAN side and eventually   
   control traffic moving through the local network, sniff packets or crash   
   systems.   
      
   He recommends disabling all UPnP services until a patch is available from   
   ASUS, and remove all remote access to the router for administration. Default   
   passwords for the router and AiCloud services should also be changed.
