Acreed infostealer poised to replace Lumma after global crackdown therecord.media/acreed-in…

Newly emerged malware called Acreed is gaining ground in the Russian cybercriminal market and is expected to become the go-to infostealer for hackers, following the recent takedown of Lumma stealer, according to a new report.

Acreed, first identified earlier this year, already has surpassed most established infostealers in Russia, trailing only Lumma during the first quarter of 2025, said researchers at U.S. cybersecurity firm ReliaQuest.

With Lumma’s operations now severely disrupted by a global law enforcement crackdown in May, the researchers say Acreed is primed to fill the void.
