Hello,I read on the news about a new malware called "VPNFilter" that affects TP-Link networking equipment. Is there an upcoming update that will be available for the M5? https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/05/VPNFilter.html "Working with our partners, we estimate the number of infected devices to be at least 500,000 in at least 54 countries. The known devices affected by VPNFilter are Linksys, MikroTik, NETGEAR and TP-Link networking equipment in the small and home office (SOHO) space, as well at QNAP network-attached storage (NAS) devices."

How do you know that? Can you confirm 100% that the R600VPN is the only model affected by the VPNFilter malware?Any official information from TP-Link team?I have a TL-ER5120 and I'm worry about this. ThanksEDIT: Ok, I found the https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2018/05/VPNFilter.html where it says only R600VPN is affected. But this means they just tested the TP-Link R600VPN? Or does this means they tested ALL TP-Link routers and found the issue on only one?

It seems this problem is still not fully fixed for R600VPN.

 

https://vulners.com/talos/TALOS-2018-0618 => v2 and v3 is affected

https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/tl-r600vpn/v3/#Firmware => only v4 has a firmware update

https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/220010 => v4 firmware is not compatible with older versions (v2, v3)

 

Please explain what should I do with an R600VPN v3 router.
