Cyberattaque mondiale : le FBI fait tomber un #botnet géant qui détournait vos #routeurs depuis plus de vingt ans. Pendant plus de 20 ans, des cybercriminels ont transformé des milliers de routeurs obsolètes en #proxys résidentiels pour dissimuler leurs activités illégales. Après une traque d’un an, les autorités viennent de démanteler le réseau #Anyproxy / #5Socks et d’inculper quatre personnes.

Business idea!
Cybercriminals resell proxy services powered by hacked routers:

Consumer PCs and Androids phone costs are driven down by pre-loaded bloatware, TVs made cheap by ads and pre-loaded apps.
How about a line super-cheap consumer routers, subsidized with 3rd party proxy software built into the terms of service? No need to hack into consumer routers, this could be run as an above board business (...with shady customers)
