The bustling enterprise, recently disrupted by a global effort including ESET, is notorious for going after all manner of sensitive data, including passwords, credit card numbers, and cryptowallet info.

Cybercriminals use torrents to push malware disguised as the latest Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning movie.

Microsoft Threat Intelligence observed the persistent growth and operational sophistication of Lumma Stealer, an info-stealing malware used by multiple financially motivated threat actors to target various industries.

Earlier this month, a coordinated disruption action targeting the Lumma malware-as-a-service (MaaS) information stealer operation seized thousands of domains, part of its infrastructure backbone worldwide.

The Lumma infostealer has become a popular way for hackers to steal sensitive data like banking information and cryptocurrency wallets.

US, European, and Japanese authorities, along with tech companies including Microsoft and Cloudflare, say they’ve disrupted Lumma, an infostealer popular with criminal gangs.

Microsoft, the U.S. Justice Department, Europol and Japan’s Cybercrime Control Center are targeting the Lumma Stealer malware in an international operation. A court order has empowered the group to start taking it down.
