Botnet infection targets certain TP-Link router

TP-Link announced recently that hackers have exploited two vulnerabilities to infect some small office/home (SOHO) TP-Link routers. Once hacked, the router is weaponized to attack Microsoft 365 accounts. Vulnerable router models include the Archer C7 and TL-WR841N/ND although other models may also be at risk. Please check your small office / home office router brand and contact your I.T. personnel if you have a TP-Link router.
