Pirated 'The Odyssey' Files Contain Lumma Stealer Crypto Malware

Bitdefender identifies Lumma Stealer in pirated 'The Odyssey' files, targeting crypto wallets and credentials via disguised executables.

Woofun AI reports that Bitdefender detected malicious executable files disguised as pirated copies of 'The Odyssey' circulating shortly after the film's release. These files, mimicking VLC Media Player icons, install the Lumma Stealer malware on Windows devices to harvest browser passwords, payment data, and cryptocurrency wallet credentials. The campaign also captures authentication cookies to bypass multi-factor authentication. Bitdefender has blocked these downloads and flagged associated command-and-control domains, noting similarities to a 2025 incident involving 'Mission: Final Liquidation' files.
