Analysis of nearly 3,000 underground forum posts reveals that cybercriminals now evaluate proxies by reputation history rather than just ISP classification, distinguishing 'clean' from 'dirty' pools. Carders increasingly combine residential IPs with antidetect browsers, device fingerprints, cookie histories, and precise geographic identity signals down to ZIP code and time zone.
