Fake Captcha Campaign Distributes Lumma Info-Stealer Malware

/ 1 min read

🚨💻 Fake Captcha Campaign Unleashes Lumma Info-Stealer via Malvertising. A large-scale deceptive campaign has been identified, utilizing fake captcha pages to distribute Lumma info-stealer malware, which bypasses standard security measures. This operation, reliant on a single ad network, generates over 1 million daily ad impressions and has led to thousands of victims losing sensitive information. The campaign’s infrastructure involves complex redirect chains and cloaking techniques, primarily linked to the Monetag ad network, a subsidiary of PropellerAds. Despite recent actions to halt the campaign, the fragmented accountability within the ad ecosystem raises concerns about ongoing vulnerabilities, emphasizing the need for stronger content moderation and proactive measures to protect internet users from such threats.
