FBI Alerts: Your Home Wi‑Fi Could Be Hijacked as a Criminal Mask
The FBI warns that criminals can hijack home Wi‑Fi networks to use the owner’s IP as a proxy for illegal activity, potentially making victims appear responsible. To defend against this, users should avoid suspicious sites and apps, skip untrustworthy free VPNs, keep devices updated, and businesses should implement network segmentation and block known residential-proxy IPs; Google is taking action to dismantle proxy rings.
