LockBit is a major ransomware targeting Windows devices and is a significant threat in Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) attacks. Its decentralized structure has allowed it to infiltrate high-profile organizations globally, such as the UK’s Royal Mail and India’s National Aerospace Laboratories in 2024.
Law enforcement has arrested several members of the LockBit group, but it still operates and plans to release LockBit 4.0 in 2025.
Lumma:
Lumma is a widely available malware that steals sensitive information, sold on the Dark Web since 2022. It collects data from apps, including login credentials and financial details.
Regular updates enhance its capabilities, allowing it to log browsing history and cryptocurrency wallet data. Lumma can also install other malware on infected devices. In 2024, it was spread through fake CAPTCHA pages, torrents, and phishing emails.
XWorm:
XWorm is a malware that allows cybercriminals to remotely control infected computers. Since its emergence in July 2022, it collects sensitive data such as financial information, browsing history, passwords, and cryptocurrency wallet details.
It enables attackers to monitor victims through keystroke tracking, webcam captures, audio recording, network scans, and viewing open windows. XWorm can also access and alter the clipboard, which could lead to stealing cryptocurrency credentials.
By 2024, XWorm was implicated in several major attacks, including those that exploited CloudFlare tunnels and used legitimate digital certificates.
AsyncRAT:
AsyncRAT is a remote access trojan first seen in 2019, initially spread through spam emails related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has since become popular for various cyber attacks.
The malware has developed to include numerous harmful features, such as recording screen activity, logging keystrokes, installing other malware, stealing files, maintaining a presence on infected systems, disabling security software, and launching denial-of-service attacks.
As of 2024, AsyncRAT remains a major threat, often disguised as pirated software, and was one of the first malware types distributed in complex attacks using AI-generated scripts.
