Residential proxies evaded IP reputation checks in 78% of 4B sessions
Researchers warn that residential proxies used to route malicious traffic are a big problem for IP reputation systems, as there is no clear distinction between attackers and legitimate users. This occurs because residential proxies are too short-lived, uninvolved, or systematically rotated, preventing defense systems from cataloging them in time. Cybersecurity intelligence platform GreyNoise determined this after examining a […]
Hackers compromise NGINX servers to redirect user traffic
A threat actor is compromising NGINX servers in a campaign that hijacks user traffic and reroutes it through the attacker’s backend infrastructure. NGINX is open-source software for web traffic management. It intermediates connections between users and servers and is employed for web serving, load balancing, caching, and reverse proxying. The malicious campaign, discovered by researchers at […]
Cloudflare misconfiguration behind recent BGP route leak
Cloudflare has shared more details about a recent 25-minute Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route leak affecting IPv6 traffic, which caused measurable congestion, packet loss, and approximately 12 Gbps of dropped traffic. The BGP system helps route data across different networks called autonomous systems (AS) that send it to destination through smaller networks on the internet. The incident was […]
