The malware itself has a previously unnoticed capability: It can stage a man-in-the-middle attack on your web traffic, altering what you see online and possibly hiding other nefarious deeds. It can also make you internet connection slow.

"They can manipulate everything going through the compromised device," a Cisco Talos researcher told Ars Technica. "They can modify your bank-account balance so that it looks normal while at the same time they're siphoning off money."

Only a factory reset will remove the malware, which contains a beachhead module that survives regular reboots; only firmware patches will prevent you from being infected again.
