Don't use Upnp and check your gadgets
Krebs' article on Mirai and the affected gadgets
Don't use Upnp - it is unsafe.
Re: Mirai DDos attack: The Krebs article linked above shows a table of known affected devices - but note that the list may not be complete. Check to see if your gadget is on the list and change the password if it is. Heck - change the default password on any device you have even if it is not on the list.
I was surprised to see the Ubiquiti AirOS router on the list. Tsk, tsk...
