This Russian military intelligence group has been stealing people's sensitive data, so you might want to connect your router through a VPN
The Russian military intelligence group APT28 has been identified by the UK's National Cyber Security Centre as hijacking vulnerable routers to steal sensitive user data, including login credentials and private messages. This operation exploits a DNS issue to redirect internet traffic through malicious servers, effectively acting as anti-VPNs. While the NCSC has provided guidance for businesses, using a reputable VPN service is recommended for individuals to protect their online privacy.
