The next administration needs to redo the whole infrastructure from scratch. They have to assume everything is compromised

"Infected with a proxy SDK" wouldn't be my first guess. Am I jaded? A realist?

PS: I own proxybase.xyz, and I think we’re the most transparent residential proxy network in the industry.

I don’t think it’s fair to call all residential proxy networks shady. Not all of us run our businesses that way. Our code is open, we have nothing to hide, and we use US-based stablecoins for transactions. User consent is our number one priority. I haven’t seen anyone else in the industry match that level of transparency.

Why do you use stablecoins and not credit cards like every other non-shady business on the internet?

We have a no-KYC policy to protect our users’ privacy. If we accepted credit cards, we could link users to their real identities. We don't want that.

Sounds pretty shady

Uhh, and what exactly is the benefit for end users to have their devices send out ddos and scraping traffic?

It should be made illegal.

Hmm, all our proxy traffic goes through a centralized gateway, so we have security policies in place to help protect against DDoS attacks.

Do you really think your users aren’t installing onto every device they can break into to make a buck? Ignorance is bliss I guess.

Burning a compromised host just to run a public proxy client for pennies would be the worst trade-off imaginable for an attacker. It is loud, easily caught.

The biggest operator of residential proxy networks (BrightData) is based in Israel, which I'm sure has no connection to this at all...

Is the first word in that headline missing a P at the beginning?
