Dear All,

I have seen some strange behaviour on my new Belkin 802.11g Wireless
Router with ADSL Modem built in.

First I see SYN Flood Attacks in the Security Logs, The Norton Peronal
Firewall reports NMAP_Null_Port Scan from Wireless Router HTTP (80) to
my PC Port. Then my machine reset twice and now Norton said that my
email address was being sent to the cgi-bin directory on the ADSL
Router. Here is the exact Norton Warning:

Private Information:

Date Time: 24/08/2004 01:22:32
User: ours
Action: Blocked
Type: HTTP
Category: Email Address
Data: **my email address**
Destination: http://192.168.2.1/cgi-bin/Batmint.exe

I looked up the string "Batmint.exe" and could only find a non-English
site but I judged from the title it ain't good. Does anyone have any
ideas? Has my ADL router been compromised?

Article:

I don;t understand why my email address is being sent to a cgi-bin
directory on the Belkin ADSL router.

I am going to run a full Anti-virus scan and Spybot removal aswell.

Use Babelfish translator to translate the page from spainish to english.

The simple answer is yes, there's an exploit.
