GreyNoise spotted a dual-mode Citrix Gateway recon campaign using 63K+ residential proxies and AWS to find login panels and enumerate versions.

Between Jan 28 and Feb 2, 2026, GreyNoise tracked a coordinated reconnaissance campaign targeting Citrix ADC and NetScaler Gateways. Attackers used over 63,000 residential proxies to discover login panels, then switched to AWS infrastructure to aggressively enumerate exposed versions across more than 111,000 sessions.

The activity logged 111,834 sessions from over 63,000 IPs, with 79% aimed at Citrix Gateway honeypots, pointing to targeted infrastructure mapping rather than random crawling.
