The operation achieved a 79% takedown rate, removing over 20,000 malicious IP addresses and domains, seizing 41 servers, and arresting 32 suspects across Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and Nauru. The crackdown targeted 69 variants of information-stealing malware including Lumma, Risepro, and Meta Stealer, which harvest credentials and financial data for use in ransomware and business email compromise attacks. Over 216,000 victims were notified of security breaches. ## Content Interpol has successfully coordinated a major international effort, dubbed Operation Secure, targeting infostealer networks that plagued multiple countries with malicious activities. This operation involved collaboration among 26 countries, leading to the takedown of over 20,000 malicious IP addresses and domains linked to 69 variants of information-stealing malware. The four-month operation, spanning from January to April, resulted in a 79% takedown rate of suspicious IPs, the seizure of 41 servers, over 100 GB of data, and the arrest of 32 suspects in various countries, including Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and Nauru. Vietnamese authorities conducted the majority of the arrests, capturing 18 individuals including group leaders, while authorities in Sri Lanka and Nauru made 14 additional arrests. The Operation Secure highlighted a significant crackdown on infostealer malware, a type of cyber threat used to harvest credentials, passwords, and financial data from compromised machines. The sensitive information garnered from these attacks often finds its way to cybercrime forums, facilitating further malicious activities like ransomware and business email compromise attacks. Interpol's efforts have informed over 216,000 victims about the security breaches, reaffirming the ongoing dedication to dismantling the cybercrime infrastructure that enables such widespread infostealer and phishing campaigns. Among notable infostealer malware actively targeted were Lumma, Risepro, and Meta Stealer, notorious for obtaining browser credentials, credit card data, and cryptocurrency wallet information through phishing and social media scams. This international collaboration underscores the critical priority of confronting cyber threats, uniting countries in a shared commitment to thwart cybercriminal operations that have impacted countless individuals and organizations worldwide. ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@kdavid** · 0 upvotes > pretty crazy seeing how big these cybercrime networks get and still people out there fighting it every day - you ever wonder if the tech always stays one step ahead or if law enforcement can really keep up long-term ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#cyber](https://daily.dev/tags/cyber), [#malware](https://daily.dev/tags/malware), [#data-breach](https://daily.dev/tags/data-breach) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/operation-secure-dismantles-major-infostealer-cybercrime-network-eve9aevuu) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Operation Secure Dismantles Major Infostealer Cybercrime Network","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/operation-secure-dismantles-major-infostealer-cybercrime-network-eve9aevuu","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/operation-secure-dismantles-major-infostealer-cybercrime-network-eve9aevuu"},"datePublished":"2025-06-11T21:30:56.788Z","dateModified":"2025-06-12T17:17:26.976Z","description":"Interpol coordinated Operation Secure, a four-month international effort involving 26 countries that successfully dismantled major infostealer networks.
