Summary:
- The article discusses how Chinese hackers have been exploiting vulnerabilities in SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) devices to create a network of compromised devices, known as "lapdogs," that can be used for various malicious activities.
- The hackers have been targeting routers, modems, and other network devices in homes and small offices, installing backdoors and malware to gain remote access and control over these devices.
