@briankrebs@infosec.exchange IOW they rent out your ip address as a residential proxy but they also defraud adtech companies, so who can tell if they're good or bad?

@dalias@hachyderm.io it is said you can tell the quality of a tree by its fruit, and by that yardstick the fruit is primarily traffic tied to account takeover attempts, ad fraud, mass content scraping for AI projects, or outright cybercrime. The residential proxy services enabled by these devices are sold and resold under a number of agreements, and some have multiple proxy SDKs funneling traffic. And these devices are a shitshow on security because the underlying hardware has not even basic authentication requirements.
