We saw a rise in infostealer malware in 2024, with hackers using it to steal credentials, cryptocurrency and other personal data from millions of users. If you recall, I reported countless incidents of an infostealer called Lumma preying on Android, Windows and even iOS and Mac users.
A new cybersecurity report now highlights that hackers using Lumma, along with StealC, Redline and other infostealers, infected 4.3 million machines in 2024, leading to an astonishing 330 million compromised credentials.
Security researchers have also observed 3.9 billion credentials shared in credential lists that appear to be sourced from infostealer logs.
