The FBI issued a warning on August 20, 2025, regarding Russian FSB cyber actors targeting end-of-life networking devices in US critical infrastructure, raising concerns about potential espionage and disruptive attacks. Vulnerable devices, such as outdated routers and switches, are prime targets for exploitation due to lack of security updates. The advisory indicates that these tactics may also pose risks to allies, including India, suggesting the need for enhanced cybersecurity strategies. The incident emphasizes the importance of modernization in critical infrastructure to prevent vulnerabilities and highlights the necessity for international cooperation in sharing threat intelligence, particularly as state actors exploit weaknesses for strategic gain.
