Executive Summary
In May 2025, a coalition of law-enforcement agencies (via Europols Operation Endgame) disrupted infrastructure behind Bumblebee, Latrodectus, Qakbot, DanaBot, Trickbot, and WarmCookie. Authorities recovered and provided about 15.3 million victim email addresses (and 43.8 million passwords) to Have I Been Pwned. These are credentials stolen from victims by infostealer/loader malware, recovered by law enforcement.
ObscureIQ assessment: Exposure extends to any credential entered on a compromised device until reset and the malware removed; the LE recovery aims to warn victims.
Breach Impact
Because these are credentials captured by malware on infected devices, many were valid at time of theft; presence typically indicates a device was infected rather than a single site being breached.
About Operation Endgame 2.0
Operation Endgame 2.0 is a 2025 international law-enforcement action against malware/botnet infrastructure; this record is the corpus of victim credentials recovered during that operation, not a breach of a single organization.
Why They Hold Your Data
Seized victim datasets from malware takedowns contain compromised identity, device, credential, and infection-linked records gathered during law-enforcement disruption operations.
