Microsoft says Lumma password stealer malware found on 394,000 Windows PCs


Microsoft and law enforcement announced a coordinated takedown of the Lumma pasword-stealing malware.

Microsoft and law enforcement have announced a court-authorized takedown of Lumma, a prolific info-stealer malware operation found on more than 394,000 Windows PCs globally, mostly in Brazil, Europe, and the United States. The tech giant took civil action to ask a federal court to seize 2,300 domains that served as the malware’s network of command and control servers. Once infected, the malware steals logins, passwords, credit cards, and cryptocurrency wallets from the victim’s computer, which are sold to other cybercriminals.
