Summary

Show ▼
Lumma Stealer, also known as Water Kurita, has experienced a significant drop in activity since August 2025 due to a doxxing campaign. The campaign exposed the identities of five core group members, including their PII, financial records, and social media profiles. This disruption has led to a loss of customer trust and a shift to other stealers like Vidar and StealC. The doxxing campaign, named Lumma Rats, is believed to be driven by internal rivalries within the cybercriminal community. The campaign included threats and accusations of betrayal, suggesting insider knowledge or access to compromised accounts and databases. The disruption coincides with the emergence of Vidar Stealer 2.0, which features advanced capabilities and improved evasion techniques.
