GhostSocks is the name used by an operator advertising a malware-as-a-service offering designed to turn compromised devices into residential proxy infrastructure. The service is positioned to enable other threat actors to route malicious traffic through victim systems, obscuring origin and blending activity with legitimate consumer network traffic. Based on the available reporting, GhostSocks is associated with proxy-enablement capability built on compromised hosts rather than a clearly documented intrusion set with independently corroborated campaigns, victimology, or state affiliation. Publicly available information in this context supports characterization of GhostSocks primarily as a cybercriminal service brand involved in facilitating post-compromise abuse and monetization of infected devices.
