This worrying cyberattack targets one of the key protocols propping up the whole internet

Different devices, all over the internet, could be vulnerable to endpoint takeover, due to running a decades-old encryption protocol, experts have warned.

Academic researchers Sharon Goldberg, Miro Haller, Nadia Heninger, Mike Milano, Dan Shumow, Marc Stevens, and Adam Suhl recently published a paper detailing how multiple devices, including industrial controllers, telecommunications services, and others, built by 90 different vendors, still operate on Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, or RADIUS for short, which was first introduced back in 1991.
