Work From Home Use of Popular VPN Routers Increases Immediacy of Critical Patch 

SAN ANTONIO – December 8, 2020 – Digital Defense, Inc., a leader in vulnerability management and threat assessment solutions, today announced that its Vulnerability Research Team (VRT) uncovered a previously undisclosed vulnerability affecting D-Link VPN routers. D-Link DSR-150, DSR-250, DSR-500 and DSR-1000AC VPN routers running firmware version 3.14 and 3.17 are vulnerable to a remotely exploitable root command injection flaw.

These devices are commonly available on consumer websites/ecommerce sites such as Amazon, Best Buy, Office Depot and Walmart. Given the rise in work-from-home due to the pandemic, more employees may be connecting to corporate networks using one of the affected devices.

The vulnerable component of these devices is accessible without authentication. From both WAN and LAN interfaces, this vulnerability could be exploited over the Internet. Consequently, a remote, unauthenticated attacker with access to the router’s web interface could execute arbitrary commands as root, effectively gaining complete control of the router. With this access, an attacker could intercept and/or modify traffic, cause denial of service conditions and launch further attacks on other assets. D-Link routers can connect up to 15 other devices simultaneously.

“Our standard practice is to work in tandem with organizations on a coordinated disclosure effort to facilitate a prompt resolution to a vulnerability. The Digital Defense VRT reached out to D-Link who worked diligently on a patch. We will continue outreach to customers ensuring they are aware and able to take action to mitigate any potential risk introduced by the vulnerability,” states Mike Cotton, senior vice president of engineering at Digital Defense.

D-Link is a global leader in designing and developing networking and connectivity products for consumers, small businesses, medium to large-sized enterprises and service providers. Since 1986, the company has grown into an award-winning global brand with over 2,000 employees in 60 countries. D-Link’s line of VPN routers enable remote workers to connect securely to company resources.

What You Can Do

D-Link’s recent advisory provides more details about the updates that have been released, which should be applied: https://supportannouncement.us.dlink.com/announcement/publication.aspx?name=SAP10195​. For additional information, customers should contact D-Link directly.

Saratoga Springs, NY and Waitsfield, VT, Dec 9, 2020 -- Discovery Map International, the leading provider of curated guides to top tourist attractions, cities and towns throughout North America, recently announced Matt McCabe as the new owner of Discovery Map of Saratoga Springs. McCabe acquired the map in fall 2020 from Jack and Marlene Pegues.

McCabe had been a long-time advertiser on Discovery Map of Saratoga Springs on behalf of his store, Saratoga Guitar and the Capital Region Guitar Show.

“It was by far the best advertising dollars I would spend each year. So, I told Jack and Marlene to come see me when they were ready to sell,” joked McCabe. “A few years later, they walked into the store and told me their plans. I think it took six minutes for us to strike a deal.”

Adds McCabe, “In addition to being a great opportunity, I wanted to purchase the map to keep ownership in the hands of somebody who is from the area and knows all the fun and interesting things there are to see and do.”

Discovery Maps are colorful, hand-drawn maps that have become a favorite of travelers for navigating local dining, attractions, businesses, cultural experiences and tourist destinations. Discovery Map of Saratoga Spring includes sites and destinations within the city and neighboring communities. That includes the convention center, the Saratoga Race Course and the Racing Hall of Fame, Skidmore College and the nearby Adirondack Mountains.

“Even before COVID, Saratoga Springs was a great place for a staycation with so many things to do in the area,” said McCabe. “I want to continue the great work Jack and Marlene did in making this map a must-have for visitors and residents alike.”

Discovery Maps are typically found on display in local stores, restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions. In addition, DiscoveryMap.com offers curated content to complement/supplement the printed map. The interactive map found the website is to scale, thus can be used for turn-by-turn directions, as well as to access detailed information about areas of interest, places to eat, lodging and other noteworthy sites.

“As much as we rely on our smartphones, people still prefer printed-out maps,” said McCabe. “Although Discovery Map has a great website and online presence, the maps are truly like works of art and reveal the character of an area... and there is a lot of that in Saratoga Springs and the surrounding areas.”

For local businesses interested in placing an ad in the next Discovery Map of Saratoga Springs, McCabe will start accepting ads in January 2021, with a distribution planned for June 2021. Interested merchants can call (518) 365-1159 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Discovery Map International has more than 130 maps nationwide. More than 6,000 businesses advertise on Discovery Maps across the U.S. One annual ad on Discovery Map reaches, on average, 500,000 visitors. Discovery Map advertisers renew their ads at a very high rate and some of the older Discovery Map locations have businesses who have been advertising on the same map for more than 20 years.
