Lumma Stealer Masquerades as Pirated Apps to Steal Logins and Data
Lumma Stealer, a notorious information-stealing malware-as-a-service (MaaS) platform, has swiftly reemerged after a coordinated global law enforcement operation in May 2025. The U.S. Department of Justice, alongside international partners, seized approximately 2,300 malicious domains integral to Lumma’s command-and-control (C&C) infrastructure, including administrative login panels. This disruption severed connections between infected endpoints and exfiltration servers, temporarily…

How phishers are weaponizing SVG images in zero-click, evasive campaigns
Innovative, evasive, and targeted campaigns: Researchers pointed out that traditional endpoint detection, antivirus tools, and even email filters struggle to spot this threat because image files like SVGs are rarely considered dangerous. Compared to previous SVG-based attacks that used hosted payloads, this method keeps everything self-contained, further slipping past defenses.Victims span B2B service providers, utilities,…
