Guardian: FBI says Russians hacked hundreds of thousands of routers.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/25/router-hacking-russia-fbi

" In obtaining the court order, the justice department said the hackers involved were in a group called Sofacy that answered to the Russian government.

Sofacy, also known as APT28 and Fancy Bear, has been blamed for many of the most dramatic Russian hacks, including that of the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 US presidential campaign."
