Description

The Lumma infostealer is a sophisticated malware distributed as Malware-as-a-Service, targeting Windows systems. It primarily steals sensitive data such as browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, and VPN/RDP accounts. Lumma is often used in the initial stages of multi-vector attacks, including ransomware and network breaches. The malware is distributed through phishing sites, disguised as pirated software, and uses complex techniques like NSIS packaging, AutoIt scripts, and process hollowing to evade detection. To combat this threat, organizations should implement behavior-based detection systems and integrate threat intelligence into their security strategies.
