Definition ∞ A clandestine proxy attack involves an attacker using an intermediary server to hide their identity while targeting a system. This cyber security threat typically masks the attacker’s true origin, making tracing difficult for incident response teams. In the digital asset space, such attacks might target exchange infrastructure, decentralized application interfaces, or user wallets through concealed network routes. The goal is often to gain unauthorized access or disrupt services without immediate attribution.
Context ∞ News reports on security breaches in the crypto sector frequently mention sophisticated attack vectors, and clandestine proxy attacks represent a significant challenge due to their obfuscation techniques. The continuous cat-and-mouse game between attackers and security professionals necessitates advanced threat detection and attribution methods. Digital asset platforms continually fortify their defenses against such covert intrusions.
