refuses to provide the source code for the gnu general public license gpl licensed u boot . 4 5 this made it impossible in practical terms for ubiquiti s customers to fix the issue . 4 upatre trojan edit it was reported by online reporter brian krebs on june 15 2015 that 6 recently researchers at the fujitsu security operations center in warrington uk began tracking the upatre trojan software being served from hundreds of compromised home routers particularly routers powered by mikrotik and ubiquiti s airos . bryan campbell of the fujitsu security operations center in warrington uk reported we have seen literally hundreds of wireless access points and routers connected in relation to this botnet usually airos said bryan campbell lead threat intelligence analyst at fujitsu . the consistency in which the botnet is communicating with compromised routers in relation to both distribution and communication leads us to believe known vulnerabilities are being exploited in the firmware which allows this to occur . ipo edit on october 13 2011 ubiquiti networks had its initial public offering ipo at 7.04 million shares 15 per share . 7 raising 30.5 million . 8 legal
