The FBI, Europol, and Microsoft collaborated to shut down the Lumma Stealer malware network that infected around 10 million devices globally.
Lumma Stealer operated on a malware-as-a-service model, allowing cybercriminals to buy access through subscription plans, making it easier for less-skilled attackers to deploy powerful malware.
Authorities seized 2,300 malicious domains critical to Lumma Stealer's command-and-control infrastructure, cutting off communication between infected systems and its operators.
The takedown of Lumma Stealer is a significant win against cybercrime networks, disrupting their tool for stealing sensitive information and showcasing the power of global collaboration in cybersecurity.
