  6. #LG to Ban #ResidentialProxies from #SmartTV Apps

    The home appliance giant #LGElectronics USA said this week it plans to suspend any apps built for its smart TVs that turn one’s #television into an always-on residential #proxy node. The move comes less than a month after researchers found that more than 42 percent of games and other apps available for download on LG’s #webOS store allow unknown third-parties to route their Internet traffic through a user’s #TV.

    It is used on huge parts to harvest training data for llms. This is huge problem for smaller hosters, some open source projects, openstreetmap etc because they crawl web sites at intense depth without even basic caching which wastes lots of resources, money and often makes the service inoperable for legitimate users.

    I'm shocked that this is not mentioned in the report or the comments here, in my bubble I had various reports of this problem.

    You can't block those IPs because there are so many and you would also block legitimate users. That is exactly why they are using them.

  16. 🚨 📡 🇯🇵 Free TV in Japan, at a Cost: "Black-CAS" Spam Campaigns

    We've been tracking a high-volume spam campaign targeting Japanese users advertising illegal "Black-CAS" services. In Japan, satellite TV channels are accessed through Conditional Access Systems (CAS), the legitimate pay-per-channel infrastructure used by Japanese broadcasters. Black-CAS exploits that system, intercepting and cloning legitimate smartcard signals to unlock paid content without a subscription.

    Beyond the piracy angle, these devices have been documented to come preloaded with malware and residential proxy clients — buyers think they're paying for cheap TV access, but they're also handing over their network to threat actors.

    The emails rotate Japanese-language subjects like "簡単に明日からタダになる、魔法のカード" ("a magic card that makes everything free starting tomorrow") or "有料放送が、ずっとただ無料です" ("paid broadcasts, free forever"). Every email carries a set of URL shortener links (clck[.]ru, u[.]to) rather than direct destination URLs — a clear detection evasion mechanism.

    The protective shortener layer hasn't made them conservative with the number of domain registrations. Behind it, the infrastructure relies heavily on RDGAs (e.g. mchj43nmd4j53[.]xyz, 87dsq65dh3[.]xyz), while bolder actors directly use overtly themed domains: blackbcas[.]xyz, black-cas-card-tv[.]lol, black-cas-card-jp-super[.]xyz.

    At the landing pages, users can directly purchase these devices, as seen in the images below.

    This week our data puts Black-CAS alongside phishing and fake shop campaigns in the top threats targeting Japanese speakers — definitely a threat to consider.

  26. If the FBI knocks on your door and asks about Grandma's digital picture frame - you might have some explaining to do!

    China-manufactured TV streaming "super boxes" and digital picture frames sold by Walmart and Amazon come pre-loaded with malware to create a residential internet proxy that routes bad actor's internet traffic through the household connection, making criminal activity appear to originate from an ordinary home address rather than a suspicious data-center server.

    There are an estimated 20M of such compromised devices currently active in the U.S.

    Innocent consumers have faced serious scrutiny, and in some cases law enforcement action, simply because their compromised device was the last visible node in a criminal operation.

  36. Infoblox revealed in a blog post that by this year, they observed clients resolving #residentialproxy domain names in 65% of their customer networks.

    Around 60% of governmental and banking customers have observed these #RESIP domain name resolutions. That is seriously concerning, given the fact that proxies enabled access to local network resources.

    What I am missing most, is some kind of an indication of a country-level statistics. Which regions are most affected? Especially, when it comes to critical infrastructure such as #banking and #government ?
