Law enforcement in the US and Europe dismantled SocksEscort, a criminal proxy service powered by the AVrecon botnet that since 2020 compromised roughly 369,000 routers and IoT devices across 163 countries to provide anonymized proxy access for ransomware, DDoS, fraud, and illegal content distribution; authorities seized domains, servers, and cryptocurrency, and advised vendors and users to update device firmware to mitigate exploitation.
