Infostealers, particularly the Lumma variant, are evolving from simple data theft tools to sophisticated malware that collects credentials and other sensitive information for launching larger-scale attacks. Emerging from Russian-language cybercrime forums in 2022, Lumma has seen enhancements in its capabilities, including AI integration to streamline data processing. The developers offer different service tiers to cybercriminals, enabling the customization of malware. This new approach marks a shift in strategy, allowing attackers to harness the collected data for espionage, ransomware, and lateral movement within corporate networks.
It's clear that infostealers have become more than just grab-and-go malware. In many campaigns they really act as the first stage, collecting credentials, access tokens, and other foothold-enabling data.
The Lumma infostealer first emerged on Russian-language cybercrime forums in 2022. Since then its developers have upgraded its capabilities and released multiple different versions of the software.
