To Track Down Stolen Data, Dark Web Threat Intelligence Is Key

Summary

The episode examines the rising threat of infostealer malware like Lumma Stealer, which harvests vast amounts of personal data and sells bundled credentials on the dark web. Tracy Goldberg explains that combating this requires both reducing reliance on passwords through MFA and behavioral analytics, and deploying dark‑web threat intelligence to detect compromised data before it’s abused. She emphasizes that dark‑web intel transforms security from reactive to proactive, making it essential for banks and credit unions facing evolving infostealer attacks.
