Kaspersky Lab Collaborates with Interpol to Combat Info-Stealer Programs

From January to April 2025, Kaspersky Lab participated in INTERPOL’s operation called Secure, which targeted criminals using information-stealing software. This operation took place in various locations including Vietnam, Hong Kong, Nauru, and Sri Lanka.

The Secure initiative involved law enforcement agencies from 26 countries, along with INTERPOL’s partner companies, including Kaspersky Lab. The company provided INTERPOL with crucial details about the infrastructure used to manage and distribute the information-stealing programs, specifically information regarding malicious command and control servers.

As a result of this operation, more than 30 individuals suspected of crimes related to information stealers were arrested, with 18 of them operating in Vietnam. In addition, over 20,000 illegitimate IP addresses and domain names were blocked, and more than 40 servers were seized.

«Cyber threats transcend borders—there should be no barriers to international collaboration. Therefore, ensuring security on a global scale is a shared responsibility. INTERPOL plays a vital role here by bringing together organizations necessary for creating a more secure digital world. We are pleased to once again be part of this effort,» stated Yulia Shlychkova, Vice President of Government Relations at Kaspersky Lab.

It has been noted that the number of victims affected by these criminals exceeds 216,000. Notifications have been sent to all of them, urging immediate protective measures, including changing passwords and locking accounts.
