They were infecting web content streams with bit coin mining code that then ran on systems that had gone through the hacked routers for content..

This.  It really should be a no-brainer to protect your devices by only allowing management from specific management networks.  If you don’t, you are asking for trouble.

Exactly what Lewis said. We take an "allow specific things, block everything else" approach. We only allow a small list of IP addresses to access Winbox or SSH on a router. And aside from a small list of other services the router needs to respond on (rate-limited ICMP, established/related, DHCP on some interfaces, OSPF or LDP on some interfaces, BGP from IP ranges of internal routers), everything else in the INPUT chain is explicitly dropped.

It can be inconvenient, but we only allow connections from our ip at work. If you want in, you have to VPN there first.

    Looking through all of our routers, most running the latest
    firmware, most running non-standard winbox ports, i still see the
    following today:
    * accept rule in firewall  (for port 10438 i think, same port
    enabled on ip -> socks)
    * account added called "service"
    * socks config changed ; enabled
    * log entries changed to only show one line
    anyone else seeing this?  What are they doing?
