Security researchers have discovered that network addresses associated with the White House may be running software that allows external users to rent internet access. According to findings from cybersecurity firms Layer3 Intel and Synthient, residential proxy activity was detected originating from the presidential network, potentially letting outsiders route traffic through these official connections for a minimal fee.
The potential security loophole was initially highlighted by industry outlets Krebs on Security and The Register. Further updates and information regarding the incident are expected to emerge as the story continues to develop.
