If you don't use Microsoft Azure cloud services then it shouldn't matter, for now. Might want to just avoid running those for a little while.

The article also says:

It’s unclear precisely how the compromised botnet devices are being initially infected. Whatever the cause, once devices are exploited, the threat actors often take the following actions:

• Download Telnet binary from a remote File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server
• Download xlogin backdoor binary from a remote FTP server
• Utilize the downloaded Telnet and xlogin binaries to start an access-controlled command shell on TCP port 7777
• Connect and authenticate to the xlogin backdoor listening on TCP port 7777
• Download a SOCKS5 server binary to router
• Start SOCKS5 server on TCP port 11288.

So maybe setting up some firewall rules could also help prevent further problems.
