People need to calm the hell down here. If you’re connecting HTTPS to most of the web, the only thing this thing is going to do is collect worthless packet traffic. Woot woot.
It’s not meant to collect data, it’s meant to act as an agent to a larger network of these things to collectively impact something or another in whatever way. But they could give 2 poops about the traffic on your local network.
- wildrhythms 8y agoI agree, people are really looking into the keylogger theory, but actually I think the goal of the scammer is to have a "legitimate" (residential) internet connection with which to register hundreds of online accounts, or purchase ads, etc. If the IP gets blacklisted by a service (like Facebook), no problem, the account holder will probably notice that they can't get to Facebook anymore, call up the ISP and get a brand new IP address. All this for just $15/month.
