📈 We’re continuing to see IPs being abused by residential proxy networks, and there’s no sign of it slowing down. Ending up part of one can be a nightmare, not to mention the risk of getting listed on our side. If you discover your IP has been listed because it’s part of a residential proxy network, you'll no doubt have questions: What exactly is a residential proxy? How did my IP get pulled into this? And how do I fix it? 🤯 Don't worry, we are here to help. ⤵️ ⤵️

The Spamhaus Project

This week, everywhere you look, bulletproof hosting (BPH) is in cyber news headlines. From the CrazyRDP takedown, to sanctions against entities adjacent to Aeza, and most recently Media Land LLC and ML[.]Cloud] LLC (do these measures actually move the needle?), to new CISA guidance on mitigating BPH activities.🛡️ It’s clear the spotlight is firmly on one of cybercrime’s most persistent enablers. And for a good reason. Few infrastructures have enabled so much criminal activity, for so long, with such resilience. Spamhaus has tracked BPH operators and their evolving tactics for decades. 🕵️ We've watched the ecosystem shift from monolithic BPHs to layered and complex business structures. So, amid the sensational headlines, we’ve compiled a grounded look at the topic, covering: the history, the current landscape, and where the threat landscape is likely to head next.
