I guess that isn't too surprising, but I hadn't heard of Shodan before, so that's something new to play with.

I've not come across that either. Makes me wonder about the entire article.

I hadn't heard of Shodan before,

Me neither - I just had a quick peek at their website and saw this on their blog which I found quite interesting.

Quick Statistics on the Router Backdoor on Port 32764
 
OK so Telecom Italia had the most, but add the UK ISPs together and you can see the UK fairs worse than any other country, and surprisingly the proportion of Zen's representation in comparison to the size of its userbase.


Tiscali-UK will likely be TT Business users as IP ranges for Tiscali-UK are still registered with RIPE but used by TT.

I note users of Shodan can further break down the data to see which routers are most affected - eg with Telecom Italia, these were the DG834G

I have a NAS and just used GRC to probe 32764 port and it comes back as stealth!

I did see that on the TV too and I had a look at there web site and it's on the 'to-do list'

My NAS is behind a smoothwall and switched off most of the time anyway. Plus its a HP microserver rather than a 'NAS unit'
