International authorities and private tech companies, including Microsoft, have disrupted a cybercrime 'assembly line' by simultaneously targeting two widely used malware platforms: Amadey, a malware-as-a-service tool for device compromise and payload delivery, and StealC, an infostealer-as-a-service platform for harvesting credentials and sensitive data. Microsoft used AI analysis to discover that both tools shared underlying infrastructure, enabling a coordinated legal and technical takedown. The operation, part of 'Operation Endgame,' is linked to the theft of millions of login credentials and over $47 million in ransom and fraud proceeds.
