Operation Endgame malware takedown turns up over 6 million stolen logins
Law enforcement in nine countries, coordinated by Europol, dismantled infrastructure supporting the Gootloader, CastleRAT, and StealC malware operations and recovered over 6 million stolen credentials. The action is part of Operation Endgame, an international effort targeting services that provide initial access to networks for ransomware groups. The recovered credentials were harvested from infected computers and sold by the suspects.
Why it matters: Organizations and individual users whose credentials were among the 6 million recovered should assume compromise and reset passwords immediately, while security teams should check for indicators associated with these malware families in their environment.
