Backdoors Discovered in Cisco Routers

Cisco routers in four countries have been discovered to have a SYNful malware variant creating back doors in them. Routers and firewalls are, of course, one of the most valuable devices to access and hack because they often provide access to the entire network.

I read about this already, but that neither that article nor the one you linked state clearly how the routers had the malware loaded onto them other than to state they were logged into with default credentials.

I've been wondering about that myself. Was this factory loaded, loaded from a shipping location, at customs, simply through online attacks.... any potential options.
