The US Department of Justice, along with the FBI and Microsoft, took action against Lumma Stealer, a significant information-stealing malware, by seizing multiple domains used in its operations.
Microsoft independently took down 2,300 additional internet domains associated with Lumma Stealer's criminal activities.
Lumma Stealer was involved in high-profile cyberattacks, such as the attack against Schneider Electric, resulting in millions of dollars in damages.
The FBI reported that the malware caused losses exceeding $36 million in 2023 alone, with 1.7 million instances of use and around 10 million infections. The DoJ is offering a $10 million bounty for information on cyberattacks against US infrastructure.
