The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warns of a rising trend of cybercriminals using residential proxies to conduct large-scale credential stuffing attacks without being tracked, flagged, or blocked.

The warning was issued as a Private Industry Notification on the Bureau's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) late last week to raise awareness among internet platform admins who need to implement defenses against credential stuffing attacks.

Credential stuffing is a type of attack where threat actors use large collections of username/password combinations exposed in previous data breaches to try and gain access to other online platforms.
