I wish the article can discuss in more detail how to do the things it's suggesting. I've looked for a few mins but there's no easy button to press to block an IP or check for ssh connections Anyone point me to where to look in Asus settings?
On my router. Adminstration (left menu) -> System (tab) -> Service (section in the page).
If ssh is on and there is a key specified, then you were hacked. Disable ssh (toggle) and remove the key (no idea because mine was off)
And they don't mention this, upgrade your firmware if its out of date.
Thank you.
Maybe see if you router is supported by Openwrt and if so install it and then run an iptable to block those ip's? But I'll also wait for an answer/recommendation from an expert
