==================================================

THIS IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN IN REGARDS TO YOUR

SIERRA WIRELESS MODEMS & THE MIRAI TROJAN/BOTNET

==================================================


Dear Customer,


Sierra Wireless has recently received reports of increased data usage
occurring on the AirLink brand of modems. The pattern is consistent with an
infection by the “Mirai” Linux Trojan.  The list of affected models
includes the following:

   - LS300
   - GX400
   - GX440
   - GX450
   - ES440
   - ES450
   - RV50

Mirai is a Linux targeted malware application that is can attack devices
and cause a significant rise in the amount of data usage on the devices.
Sierra Wireless has confirmed reports of the “Mirai” malware infecting
AirLink gateways that are using the default ACEmanager password and are
reachable from the public internet.

The following is a link to a technical bulletin that provides information
about Mirai along with instructions on how to protect your Sierra Wireless
gateway and its local area network. Please review the link and follow the
recommendations of Sierra to protect your systems.
