Microsoft says its Digital Crimes Unit (DCU) successfully disrupted the server infrastructure behind Lumma Stealer, a malware-as-a-service (MaaS) operation that infected hundreds of thousands of Windows

Microsoft said Wednesday that it broke down the Lumma Stealer malware project with the help of law enforcement officials across the globe.

In a blog post, Microsoft revealed that a federal court in Georgia authorized its digital crimes unit to take down, block, or suspend nearly 2,300 websites essential to Lumma’s operations. The company also worked closely with local and international law enforcement agencies to dismantle the malware’s infrastructure.
