An effected device will be restarted and reset, during which the /var/run/vnpfilterw link will be created.
The authority advised that if users think that their devices have been infected by the virus, they should reset their devices to default mode to erase the malware, while updating the firmware as soon as possible.
Over the past years, the authority has made several warnings of lopes and weaknesses in information security.
