## Threat actors targeting Mikrotik

Named threat actors attributed to campaigns that involve Mikrotik products or CVEs, with the number of linked campaigns:

- [APT28](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/actor/APT28) — 1 campaign

## How to prioritise Mikrotik patching

This order follows the data Threadlinqs holds for Mikrotik, not a generic severity checklist:

- No Mikrotik CVE is in CISA KEV yet, so rank by exploit probability instead.
- Outside KEV, the highest EPSS scores are [CVE-2026-67281](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-67281) (0.5%), [CVE-2026-67279](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-67279) (0.4%), [CVE-2026-67277](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-67277) (0.4%).
- 2 CVEs score Critical and 2 High on CVSS v3 (maximum 9.2, average 8.2); sequence these after KEV and high-EPSS items.
- 6 CVEs have a public exploit or proof of concept recorded, which shortens the time from disclosure to attack.
