Mikrotik acknowledged on their official forum. According to them, RouterOS
v6.38.5 and lower is vulnerable to this.
This threat, Slingshot, is an APT and used for state level cyber espionage.
Winbox users of infected router is only prey to this.
Every concerned admin should update their boxes to latest stable RouterOS
(6.41.3) and Winbox to latest (3.12)
