Infostealers have become a significant threat, with over 330 million compromised credentials connected to malware activities. According to a report by Kela, these credentials were found linked to infostealer activity on at least 4.3 million machines. Access to sensitive corporate services such as cloud solutions, content management systems, email, and user authentication is at risk. Infostealer Activity

The report identifies that the top three infostealer strains – Lumma, StealC, and RedLine – are responsible for over 75% of the infected machines. Notably, high-profile operations targeting these strains have shown the capability of law enforcement to dismantle parts of the infostealer supply chain.

Hundreds of US Military and Defense Credentials Stolen

Research by Hudson Rock has revealed that credentials for sensitive corporate and military networks, including those of Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Honeywell, have been compromised. These credentials are available for purchase on cybercrime marketplaces, offering access to corporate email, VPN accounts, and military training platforms. For as little as $10 per log, threat actors can buy access to these sensitive systems. Hudson Rock's findings indicate that even organizations that are not directly impacted by infostealers can face risks if their partners or suppliers have been compromised. The report emphasizes the potential national security risks posed by these breaches, as the data stolen could allow adversaries to infiltrate critical networks. Affected users are advised to rotate their passwords immediately and conduct forensic investigations to assess the extent of the breaches. For further reading, consider these sources:
