Operation Secure disrupts global infostealer malware operations www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

An international law enforcement action codenamed “Operation Secure” targeted infostealer malware infrastructure in a massive crackdown across 26 countries, resulting in 32 arrests, data seizures, and server takedowns.

Led by Interpol and conducted from January to April 2025, the operation focused on disrupting infostealer malware groups that steal financial and personal data through widespread infections.

The data stolen by infostealers commonly includes account credentials, browser cookies, and cryptocurrency wallet details. This data is then compiled into “logs” and sold on cybercrime markets or used in targeted attacks against high-value victims.
