How to find Ubiquiti devices on your network

Updated

Latest Ubiquiti vulnerability #

Earlier this year, Ubiquiti, a popular networking equipment manufacturer for businesses and consumers, disclosed a security breach that potentially exposed customer data. However, recent news indicates that the reported breach was intentionally and severely underreported, and the potential impact was much greater than disclosed. You can read the Krebs article for more in-depth reporting of the breach and its potential impact.

Right now, it's critical to audit and find Ubiquiti devices. After you've identified these devices, consider:

  • Changing the passwords and enabling 2FA, if you haven't already.
  • Ensuring the devices are on the latest firmware.
  • Deleting and rebuilding your device profiles from scratch, if you want to be absolutely certain your systems are not impacted by this breach.
