The first origins show a large infection pool in the Ukraine and now has propagated out to the rest of the world.<br />The malware can basically shut down everything internet if the devices are connected to an infected router.<br />So how to find out if you're infected. <br />If you are running a Linksys, Netgear, TP-Link, NAS device, or a Cisco device listen up.<br />This is the known list of devices.
