The US Department of Justice, together with the FBI and Microsoft, disrupted the operations of Lumma Stealer, one of the biggest information-stealing malware variants out there.

In a press release published on the DoJ’s website earlier this week, it was explained that the law enforcement agencies seized five internet domains that were used to deploy LummaC2. The threat actors tried to relocate their operations and set up three new domains, which were quickly picked up by the DoJ, as well.
