Microsoft has dismantled a significant cybercriminal operation by seizing 2,300 domains tied to Lumma Stealer malware. The malware infected 394,000 Windows devices, targeting cryptocurrency credentials and passwords. This legal action coincides with a surge in crypto-related thefts, which reached $51 billion globally in 2024.

The tech giant collaborated with international law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice and Europol, to execute the takedown. Lumma Stealer’s infrastructure disruption marks a critical win against financially motivated cybercrime as digital asset security concerns escalate.
