Ubiquiti and D-Link devices abused in proxyjacking campaigns
What happened
Researchers uncovered a campaign that installed bandwidth-sharing software on compromised network devices without owner consent. Activity spanned multiple countries.
Why it matters to businesses
A compromised edge device can generate suspicious outbound traffic, abuse the company public IP reputation and go unnoticed while basic connectivity appears normal.
Practical IT checklist
- Inventory device firmware and externally reachable management services.
- Review unexpected outbound flows, DNS activity and configuration changes.
- Restrict administration to VPN or dedicated management VLANs.
