Cherry Blossom is the CIA exploit exposed by Wikileaks that is described as allowing for remote monitoring and manipulation of traffic passing through the router. A number of places have published a list of the routers listed as being potentially vulnerable, though much of the listed devices have not been confirmed as actually having firmware available that could be used to exploit them.

It is not clear if current firmware upgrades for various routers can successfully prevent them from being exploited. Protecting routers can be more difficult than protecting cameras, as the routers are directly connected and do not have any filtering device in front of them (typically).

Gotta be "fake news", since Cisco is named on the list....

Seriously though, why worry about the Chinese hackers when the USA ones create all the cool tools that get leaked to the world.
