Security researchers have found a backdoor account in the firmware of D-Link DIR-620 routers that allows hackers to take over any device reachable via the Internet.

Discovered by Kaspersky Lab researchers, this backdoor grants an attacker access to the device's web panel, and there's no way in which device owners can disable this secret account.
The backdoor account (CVE-2018-6213) is just one of four vulnerabilities Kaspersky researchers found in the firmware of these devices following a recent security audit. The other three flaws include: [...]
Not that many devices left around to exploit
The good news is that D-Link DIR-620 devices are older router models and there aren't that many around to exploit.
D-Link won't release firmware updates for such an old device
Kaspersky experts said they've also contacted D-Link about the discovered issues, but the company said it did not intend to issue new firmware updates for such an older model unless one of the ISPs it has as an enterprise customer specifically request a security update for these devices.
