Summary:

• **What is DKnife?** DKnife is a harmful toolkit that bad actors have been using since 2019 to break into home and office routers (the devices that give you internet). Once they get inside, they can spy on people's internet activity and sneak malware (harmful software) onto computers and devices connected to that router.

• **How does it work?** The attackers use DKnife to take control of routers by finding weak spots in their security, similar to how a burglar looks for unlocked doors. Once inside, they can watch what people are doing online and secretly install dangerous programs that can steal information or cause problems.

• **Why should we care?** This shows why it's important to keep our routers updated with security fixes, use strong passwords, and be careful about what devices we connect to the internet, just like we lock our doors to keep our homes safe.
