What happened
Security firm Layer3 Intel says devices linked to the White House network appear to be letting outside users route internet traffic through them, which is likely a sign that software on those devices has been hijacked. Residential proxies can be used to hide cyberattacks, so this could expose a very sensitive network. The White House did not respond to questions.

What to do
- Check endpoints for unexpected proxy SDKs, such as the Infatica SDK, and remove any that are not authorised.
- Review VPN and free app terms to see whether they reuse your connection as an exit node, as the FBI has warned.
- Monitor network traffic for residential proxy exit activity, particularly during evening hours.
