Hackers Exploit D-Link, Ubiquiti and SAP Flaws to Hijack Devices for Proxy Networks

A cybercrime campaign has compromised at least 143 devices in 34 countries by exploiting flaws in D-Link, Ubiquiti and SAP products. The attackers installed Pawns.app proxy software on victim devices, turning their internet connections into residential proxy nodes. That lets the operator route internet traffic through the victims’ real IP addresses, which can make the activity harder to trace and may help it blend in with ordinary user traffic.
