Numbers don't lie. Since the announcement of #OperationMagnus our team has observed quite a drastic drop in unique #RedLine and #Meta stealer infections. 📉 As our Vice President of #SpyCloudLabs, Trevor Hilligoss mentions this is a great win for the good guys and is just the sort of cybercrime disruption we want to see. To read more about these two legacy #infostealers and what organizations and users can do to combat this type of #malware and mitigate their risks from the stolen data, check out our recent blog on this topic: https://lnkd.in/ghiQrVWt

In a recent analysis of the top 10 most prevalent infostealer #malware families found in SpyCloud's recaptured data in the last 30 days, our team found that LummaC2 is coming up tops, but when we compare the same top 10 across our all-time records, RedLine Stealer historically reigns supreme in the #infostealer space -- but for how much longer?? With the announcement of Operation Magnus - a concerted, international partnership across law enforcement agencies to take down RedLine and Meta 'stealers - it may be too early to tell exactly what this means for the bad actors and groups that leverage this nefarious software. But one that can be certain, unless properly remediated, the identity data that has already been siphoned off devices can still be floating out there for bad actors to use to perpetrate cyber attacks like #ATO, #fraud and #ransomware. Read our blog breaking down the threats new and legacy infostealer malware can pose and what users and organizations can do to better protect themselves against this criminal-favorite tactic. https://bit.ly/3Ae8ij2

SpyCloud security researchers have uncovered some interesting activity taking place on Meta's Threads platform: cybercriminals advertising stolen financial information, specifically credit card details 💳 While Meta is aware of this activity and reportedly monitoring the situation, we have observed an increase in bad actors sharing everything from 'fullz' (complete stolen credit and account information) to actual pictures of physical credit cards. Additionally, they are using Threads features such as Polls to crowdsource feedback, assessing whether information they are providing works or if their followers need more or new stolen data.
