Another Axiom, the creator of the virtual reality game Gorilla Tag, faces an issue with players cheating using a free VPN named Big Mama VPN to gain an unfair advantage by introducing a delay in the game. Players are inadvertently participating in a residential proxy service that could tie their IP addresses to cybercriminal activities. The associated proxy service, heavily promoted in cybercrime circles, has been linked to at least one cyberattack. The implications of these actions include potential privacy and security breaches of the users' home internet connections, as well as the involvement of their devices in cyberattacks against other entities.
