Since May of 2018, we’ve heard a lot about VPNFilter malware and the growing number of affected devices. We’ve even been given the directive to reboot our routers to stop the malware which also enables the FBI and other security groups to better track it.

To remove the Stage 1 VPNFilter payload, you must apply the proper patch and updates from the manufacturer.
