A recent collaborative investigation by the Amsterdam police and the FBI has successfully dismantled Anyproxy, a criminal proxy service in operation since 2004 that was instrumental in facilitating cybercrimes like phishing and ransomware attacks. By allowing criminals to mask their identities through compromised routers, Anyproxy enabled the abuse of over 6,000 IP addresses globally. This operation underscores the importance of international enforcement partnerships in addressing the complex landscape of cybercrime and preventing further incidents of economic and data theft.
"Anyproxy has been a significant player in facilitating various cybercrimes since 2004, enabling criminals to operate under a veil of anonymity while executing large-scale attacks worldwide."
"With over 6,000 compromised IP addresses identified, including many in the U.S., the coordinated efforts of Dutch police and the FBI highlight the global nature of cybercrime and how it requires international collaboration for effective resolution."
