IPinfo Expands Privacy Detection Capabilities with Advanced Residential Proxy Coverage
Residential proxy networks have become a critical vector for fraud, account takeovers, and large-scale abuse. Unlike VPNs or datacenter proxies, residential proxies route traffic through real, residential IPs, masking the true origin of requests — often without the residential IP owner's knowledge due to malware or deceptive installations. Their residential nature allows them to bypass traditional IP-based detection and blend into legitimate traffic patterns.
'Residential Proxy Detection is a direct response to the operational needs of security and anti-fraud teams, especially those at the enterprise level who face increasingly complex and high-volume abuse scenarios,' said Ben Dowling, CEO of IPinfo. 'Residential proxies are a preferred tactic of sophisticated attackers. The data we provide gives companies deeper insight into cloaked threats and the IP infrastructure behind them.'
As these proxies become increasingly prevalent in large-scale abuse scenarios, the ability to accurately detect them has become a critical element of any modern defense strategy against malicious behavior. IPinfo's residential proxy data is designed for enterprise fraud, risk, and security teams to strengthen:
Fraud detection: Spotting cloaked transactions and synthetic identities that rotate through residential proxies to simulate legitimate users
Threat intelligence: Enriching security event data with proxy metadata to support SOC investigations
Risk scoring: Providing a weighted input in authentication and authorization models
Abuse mitigation: For reviewing manipulation and credential stuffing attacks that exploit residential proxies
IPinfo's Residential Proxy Detection is available as a standalone product, and also adds a crucial layer to IPinfo's existing Privacy Detection data, which already identifies VPNs, relays, hosting providers, and Tors. Each IP is enriched with residential proxy provider name, last-seen timestamp, a persistence score, and a mobile flag, giving security teams the context they need to gauge risk.
Key benefits of IPinfo's Residential Proxy Detection include:
Pinpoint residential proxy sources: Each record names the proxy provider, enabling teams to block abusive networks or weight fraud-risk scores.
Assess risk in context: Last seen and percent days seen fields show how fresh and persistent an IP is, so teams can tune block / step-up rules.
Catch change fast: The dataset is verified daily, lowering false positives and surfacing newly rotated addresses sooner.
Close the mobile blind spot: IPs that exit through carrier gateways are tagged with a mobile suffix, improving detection of short-lived fraud and scraping attacks.
Integrate quickly: API, file downloads, and Snowflake options plug into real-time or batch workflows with minimal engineering effort.

Where Will Palantir Technologies Be in 3 Years?
Key Points Palantir's diverse software and vast market opportunity are legitimate causes for excitement. However, the stock's valuation has begun to resemble that of Snowflake in 2020, a story that didn't end well. Crunching the numbers to see whether Palantir has any upside left over the next few years. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › Has there been as exciting a stock over these past three years as artificial intelligence (AI) software standout Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR)? Probably not. The company's growth has continued to accelerate since launching its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) for AI applications in mid-2023. The stock id up a whopping 1,300% over the past three years. It's healthy to be a bit skeptical when stocks generate such massive returns in such a short time. AI continues to prove its staying power, with companies everywhere investing significant resources in data centers and AI development. It's time to look to the future. So, where will Palantir Technologies be in three years? Here is what investors might expect. Palantir's momentum with government and commercial customers gives it a tremendously high ceiling Over time, AI is likely to become a game-changer for nearly every organization. That goes for government organizations and corporations alike. What makes Palantir Technologies special is its strong ties to both groups. Its growth momentum is strongest in the United States, where sales from government customers increased by 45% year over year in the first quarter of 2025, and revenue from commercial customers grew even faster, up 71% year over year. Palantir has generated $3.1 billion in revenue over the past 12 months and still has just 769 customers. Palantir develops custom software for a seemingly endless range of use cases. The military uses it to support missions, and hospitals use it to coordinate staff and patient care. Those are two examples of many. Essentially, any organization that generates data and can benefit from using that data to do things more efficiently or make better decisions is a potential Palantir customer. Such flexibility in its technology opens up a vast potential customer base. There are roughly 20,000 large companies in the United States, and the government has other departments and organizations. Investors are excited for good reason; Palantir has a high ceiling if things continue to go well. But the stock price now reflects much of that potential The chart below is not of Palantir's share price but rather its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio. That's the relationship between the stock's market value and Palantir's revenue. If the stock's value and Palantir's revenue rose proportionately, the line would be flat. Instead, it reflects how the stock price has consistently risen faster, pushing that ratio ever higher. Excessive valuations can be hazardous to your portfolio. At some point, valuations can get so high that they create impossible expectations. When the stock inevitably fails to meet those expectations, the share price can unwind violently. The bubble bursts. At this point, it's fair to argue that Palantir's valuation is irrationally high. There may not be a higher valuation on Wall Street today, and the only similar example I can think of is Snowflake, just after it went public amid a stock market bubble in 2020-2021. Investors who bought Snowflake stock the day it began trading are still waiting for it to show a gain years later. Here is where the stock may go over the next three years Nobody can predict where a stock may trade in the future, but the odds are rising that Palantir will serve up disappointing returns for a while from these high prices. I'll assume that Palantir sustains 40% annualized revenue growth over the next three years. That would mean that its trailing-12-month revenue of $3.1 billion would grow to $4.3 billion, then $6 billion, and finally, $8.5 billion three years from now. Today, Palantir trades at a market cap of $358 billion. Here are some projections for what the stock could do, depending on various valuations. Price-to-Sales Ratio July 2028 Market Cap Total Three-Year Upside or Downside 100 $850 billion 137% 90 $765 billion 113% 75 $637.5 billion 78% 60 $510 billion 42% 40 $340 billion -5% Data source: The author's own calculations. Palantir's growth could slow down or accelerate, but assuming 40% annualized revenue growth is probably generous. Analysts currently estimate that Palantir's full-year 2025 revenue will be 35% higher than last year, so this exercise assumes growth will accelerate further and then maintain that pace for over two years. And yet, investors still must hope that the stock can maintain a breathtakingly high valuation. Otherwise, the upside dries up quickly. A P/S ratio of 40 is still very steep. Even Nvidia, perhaps the top AI stock today, trades at 27 times its revenue. The bottom line? Palantir probably has more room to fall than to continue rising at this point. Therefore, the odds favor Palantir disappointing investors after an epic past three years. Should you invest $1,000 in Palantir Technologies right now?

Cantor Reaffirms Buy on Snowflake (SNOW), Cites Strong Summit and Growth Outlook
Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:SNOW) ranks among the . Cantor Fitzgerald reaffirmed its Overweight rating and $242 price target for Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:SNOW) on June 9. Cantor's Thomas Blakey emphasized the company's solid positioning after the Snowflake Summit 2025 in San Francisco. At the event, Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:SNOW) demonstrated its significance in enterprise data stacks. Although the effects of AI now appear to be minor, discussions have raised the possibility of short-term adjustments. One strategic step to expand Snowflake's product line is the acquisition of Crunchy Data, a PostgreSQL-focused business. Snowflake's go-to-market approach, which now seems more targeted, also impressed analysts. The company's shares seem to be valued at a premium due to its ongoing pace in growing its core cloud data warehouse and its potential in additional product areas, which are still in their infancy. Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:SNOW) is an American cloud-based data storage company that operates a platform built on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. It also provides Snowflake Cortex with a set of AI capabilities that employ large language models to analyze unstructured data. While we acknowledge the potential of SNOW as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
