VPNFilter vulnerability

[HEskandari]

Hi,

I have a HUAWEI Home Gateway on my NBN connection (HG659) and I wanted to know if these devices are vulnerable to the new widespread VPNFilter attacks. It seems the newer HG8245 are affected by the attack, so I'm afraid that the old models are also affected?

Since the device is locked down, what's the procedure of updating the firmware? Has the vulnerability even been patched by Huawei?

Thanks

I would also like to know how to do this with the HG630. 

After reading other parts of the forum it looks like firmware updates need to be manually requested through TPG?

Hi @Chris1, thanks for your PM.

We've checked the status of your connection and we are not detecting any fault on the line or network at the moment.

Is there any specific service issue you'd like to raise?

Hi Riezl, it's more in relation to the firmware update of the HG630 router in regards to the VPNFilter vunerability as well as Krack vunerability. 

Our connection is top notch, was just looking to to see if firmware updates were avaible to patch these two issues.
