Hackers are attempting to exploit a recently discovered backdoor built into multiple Zyxel device models that hundreds of thousands of individuals and businesses use as VPNs, firewalls, and wireless access points.

The backdoor comes in the form of an undocumented user account with full administrative rights that’s hardcoded into the device firmware, a researcher from Netherlands-based security firm Eye Control recently reported. The account, which uses the username zyfwp, can be accessed over either SSH or through a Web interface.

A serious vulnerability

The researcher warned that the account put users at considerable risk, particularly if it were used to exploit other vulnerabilities such as Zerologon, a critical Windows flaw that allows attackers to instantly become all-powerful network administrators.

SpaceX enjoyed its most successful year in 2020. Amidst the pandemic, the company set a record for total number of launches: 26. All met their objectives. The Crew Dragon spacecraft flew humans—Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken—into orbit for the first time. And then it did so again, with the Crew-1 mission in November. SpaceX also made demonstrable progress on its next-generation Starship launch system.

Oh, and the company also became the largest satellite operator in the world with its Starlink internet service.

For SpaceX's president and chief operating officer, Gwynne Shotwell, 2020 was indeed a watershed year. "It was a year of highlights," she said in an interview. "There's probably 10 things that I would look back on this year and say were extraordinary."
