Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) announced coordinated action this week against the IPIDEA residential proxy network, believed to be one of the largest globally. The operation included legal measures and technical intelligence sharing to degrade the network's millions of exit nodes. This move aims to restrict illicit activities facilitated by attackers masking their origins through hijacked consumer IPs.
