Thanks Collin for the post.Happened to me too. Like a dope I had been using the Asus app for iPhone to manage my router remotely. Only discovered problem when app would no longer connect. I logged into router and saw all in Korean. So far I have updated the firmware but haven't factory reset.

How do you know that PW is strong?

Why do you think that? There's nothing to indicate it in the information you've provided.I believe I was recently compromised as well.
Update to the latest firmware. There are tons of security fixes after 380.69_2I got hacked, language changed, WAN access was off although I think it was ON prior to hack.
I am on 380.69 Merlin version
Does anyone know if 380.69 _2 is good to flash too?
Also, be great if there was an email list to get a heads up on something like this. I was hacked last night but it seems it started Saturday. With some warning I could have stopped my hack.
Also, I have a thumb drive attached to my router running AB Solution and a Western Digital Drive with personal stuff. How do I know if they got my stuff?
Do I need to do anything to my drives in case they put a back door on them?
thanks
Merlin shows on his site 380.69_2 is stable but are you saying I really should go to 384.4_2?Update to the latest firmware. There are tons of security fixes after 380.69_2
My guess, and it's just a guess, is that the perpetrator is using a vulnerability to "force" configuration changes onto the router without actually logging in. The main purpose appears to be the setting up of the VPN and associated login details. This would allow them to return at a later date and login through the VPN giving them full access to the router and LAN.Also, I have a thumb drive attached to my router running AB Solution and a Western Digital Drive with personal stuff.

How would you know it is fully locked down? There is such thing known as vulnerabilities and you never know when it will happen..Noob question... please enlighten me...
If the router is fully locked down on a trusted LAN... all known attack vectors disabled... how is retaining the default admin name and a simple password (for convenience) a security risk?
Perhaps the keyword is 'known'.

I don't understand. 384.4_2 is also a stable release from your screenshot
is no more secure than this - bee9ietheeTaepai
character set is the same..
