VIP72 status

Reported offline. Event recorded 2021-08, last verified 2026-09-17.

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.
