Starting Friday, a worm started spreading affecting UBNT airOS devices:

This has likely already run its course (it spread fairly quickly in the
first hours, and appears to have reached saturation by Saturday) but I
wanted to spread the word in case ISPs are unaware.  It appears this worm
is also responsible for an increase in NXDOMAIN queries hitting recursive
resolvers (which may be your best indicator of infection).
