Thousands of Asus routers are being hit with stealthy, persistent backdoors

From article: "Recommendations 

• Check ASUS routers for SSH access on TCP/53282. 
• Review the authorizedkeys file for unauthorized entries.
• Block the four IPs listed above.
• If compromise is suspected, perform a full factory reset and reconfigure manually."

Probably because it’s not limited to one or two specific models. Read the article:

The only way for router users to determine whether their devices are infected is by checking the SSH settings in the configuration panel. Infected routers will show that the device can be logged into by SSH over port 53282 using a digital certificate with a truncated key of

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAo41nBoVFfj4HlVMGV+YPsxMDrMlbdDZ... To remove the backdoor, infected users should remove the key and the port setting.

People can also determine if they’ve been targeted if system logs indicate that they have been accessed through the IP addresses 101.99.91[.]151, 101.99.94[.]173, 79.141.163[.]179, or 111.90.146[.]237. Users of any router brand should always ensure their devices receive security updates in a timely manner.

There’s your answer.
