– Article invité, rédigé par Vincent Lautier –

Un réseau de bots vieux de 20 ans, appuyé sur des routeurs Wi-Fi domestiques obsolètes, a été démantelé par le FBI et ses partenaires. À la clé : 46 millions de dollars générés par la vente de proxies anonymes utilisés pour des activités criminelles, via les sites Anyproxy.net et 5socks.net.

Un réseau mondial basé sur du matériel bon pour la poubelle

Le FBI, en collaboration avec les polices néerlandaise et thaïlandaise, a mis fin à un réseau criminel s’appuyant sur des routeurs Wi-Fi dépassés. Depuis 2004, les sites Anyproxy.net et 5socks.net proposaient à la vente des accès à ces appareils transformés en serveurs proxy. Moyennant un abonnement mensuel entre 10 et 110 dollars, les clients pouvaient louer ces connexions pour masquer leur identité en ligne. Ce réseau, géré en partie depuis la Virginie, s’appuyait sur un botnet diffusé à l’échelle mondiale. Résultat : plus de 46 millions de dollars encaissés grâce à une infrastructure fondée sur du matériel obsolète et mal sécurisé.
