VIP72 status
Reported offline. Event recorded , last verified .
What the service was
A malware-based proxy network reported to route customer traffic through compromised computers and let customers select proxy nodes by location.
What happened
VIP72's storefront disappeared in mid-August 2021. A September 1 report said the reason was unclear and that some users still reported the underlying anonymity network functioning; later KrebsOnSecurity reporting in 2022 described VIP72 as closed.
The cause of VIP72's disappearance was not verified. Do not describe VIP72 as seized or dismantled by law enforcement without a source that establishes that claim.
What this means for existing customers
ProxySP does not treat VIP72 as an active provider. The public reporting does not establish a current storefront, account-recovery process or refund channel.
