ESET joins Europol's Cyber Intelligence Extension Programme (CIEP) - Middle East Business News and Information
ESET, Europe's leading global cybersecurity company, is proud to announce its participation in the pilot phase of the Cyber Intelligence Extension Programme (CIEP), a new initiative launched by Europol's European Cybercrime Centre (EC3). The program aims to strengthen public-private cooperation in the fight against cybercrime by enabling real-time collaboration and intelligence sharing. As part of this initiative, ESET Chief Research Officer Roman Kováč, and Senior Malware Researcher Jakub Souček, recently spent several days at Europol headquarters in The Hague meeting EC3 teams and exploring ways in which ESET's threat intelligence can directly support investigations into ransomware operations, payment fraud schemes, or complex cybercrime infrastructure. Europol functions as a people hub, a data hub, and a case hub, a place where collaboration, intelligence, and operations converge. ESET's team met with law enforcement officers from multiple countries, experiencing firsthand how one central platform fosters effective cross-border cooperation. 'We believe the CIEP sets a new benchmark for actionable intelligence sharing, joint operational readiness, and collective impact,' says Roman Kováč, Chief Research Officer at ESET. ESET has a long history of collaboration with global law enforcement agencies, including in EC3's Advisory Group, where we are represented by ESET Senior Research Fellow Righard Zwienenberg. ESET has also contributed to successful law enforcement operations, including the takedowns of prominent threats such as Gamarue, RedLine, Grandoreiro, Lumma Stealer, and most recently, Danabot. The new CIEP initiative elevates this collaboration further, creating opportunities for direct, real-time engagement with Europol's operational teams. Public-private partnerships like this one are crucial in mitigating risks within today's rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape. ESET extends sincere gratitude to Marijn Schuurbiers, Head of Operations, Gonçalo Ribeiro, Head of Cyber Intelligence and architect of the CIEP program, and to all dedicated professionals at EC3 for their continued efforts in enhancing the fight against cybercrime across Europe and beyond. Cyber threats evolve rapidly, but through partnerships such as this, so does our collective defense. Together we can make Europe a safer place.

Microsoft Sues To Curb Lumma Stealer Threat
On Wednesday, Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Digital Crimes Unit brought suit on May 13 against Lumma Stealer, an information-stealing malware used by hundreds of threat actors to siphon passwords, credit-card data, bank details and cryptocurrency wallets. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Sign with MSFT. Between March 16 and May 16, Microsoft detected over 394,000 Windows PCs infected with Luma Stealer, according to assistant general counsel Steven Masada in a company blog post. Leveraging a U.S. court order, the DCU seized or took down roughly 2,300 malicious domains forming Lumma's command-and-control backbone. Simultaneously, the Department of Justice disrupted the malware's central servers and online marketplaces, while Europol's EC3 and Japan's JC3 suspended locally based infrastructure nodesmarking one of the most extensive multinational takedowns of an info-stealer to date. The growth and resilience of Lumma Stealer highlights the broader evolution of cybercrime and underscores the need for layered defenses and industry collaboration to counter threats, Microsoft said in a separate post. Analysts note this legal offensive follows earlier DCU actions against other high-profile info-stealers and could pressure peers such as CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) and Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW) to accelerate feature rollouts. Compared with a similar takedown of TrickBot in October 2024, which involved 1,100 domains and an estimated 150,000 infections, this operation more than doubles the scale of disruption. Why It Matters This aggressive move not only hampers Lumma's infrastructure but also underscores Microsoft's growing role as both defender and regulator, signaling to investors its commitment to bolstering enterprise-security offerings.
