The Linksys EA2700 and EA3500 routers , which run on SMART Wi-Fi software, have some security vulnerabilities that were recently patched by Belkin, which owns the company.
On October 31, the US-CERT for computer security issued a security notice with the number Vulnerability Note#447516, regarding the security of Linksys routers. These gaps could be exploited by anyone and gain access to the router's settings and, by extension, to the user's data.

• EA4500
• EA6200
• EA6300

Linksys urges its customers to enable automatic updates for SOHO and other models of the company.
According to Rapi7, they recently announced a large number of attacks on SOHO models, on the NAT-PMP protocol, on the device settings, which put over 1.2 million devices at risk. The most dangerous action that hackers can take is to send traffic to the websites they want, in this way.
If you have one of the above Linksys router models, then you can follow the instructions here, from US-CERT, to fix the security vulnerabilities you may have on your device.
