It is also reporting that my latest iMac, running Catalina, is also compromised. Theat: C&C Server Source: E0:AC:CB:85:5B:32 Destination: defaverfi.ikwb.com. 6C:E8:5C:5E:F5:03 I was under the impression that malware and such can not infect an iPhone. Also, what about the iMac ? This warning is originating from my router, while logged on to the management interface. The router has only blocked and isolated these events on these two devices. Any suggestions on the origins or how to detect or clean these devices? Both have the latest updates and the iMac has esets bitdefinder installed. Please advise. Thank you. -webruler

Apple products were not mentioned in that FBI warning, so the Time Capsule is uneffected. If the ISP provided router is among the product families mentioned, then contact your ISP about those next steps, and in particular, if they plan to push a security firmware update to their router.
