Afaik everything works fine here just an article on ZD had me concerned and as for the version i'll confirm as soon as i get home, thanks for the prompt reply.
The article has been published two years ago. In 2018 we had the nice winbox vulnerability, but all the exploits were done right after the fix, and there were just some notices by MikroTik about its zero-day usage. Since then, a lot of things have been found and fixed by the vendor. Security is a continious process, you gotta always look at the changelogs, the vendor's notifications, the blog, and so on. And install an updated version of RouterOS (if applicable) or do the protection right.
