Hackers hijack D-Link, Ubiquiti devices to resell your stolen bandwidth

A proxyjacking campaign has compromised D-Link and Ubiquiti devices across 34 countries to resell stolen bandwidth through a residential proxy network. The attackers exploit vulnerable networking hardware to monetize victims' internet connections without authorization.

Why it matters: Network administrators and home users are affected by unauthorized consumption of their bandwidth and potential legal liability from illicit proxy traffic; patch D-Link and Ubiquiti devices immediately and monitor for unusual outbound connections.
