Operation Endgame Takedown dismantles Amadey and StealC malware infrastructure

Law enforcement action has resulted in the disruption of infrastructure supporting the Amadey and StealC malware programs. The Hackers News reported on X on June 24, 2026, that Operation Endgame dismantled key components of this malware infrastructure. The malware in question is used to steal data and deliver additional payloads, the post explained. The operation led to significant seizures and takedowns according to authorities. Specifically, 326 servers were dismantled. A total of 142 domains were taken down. Recovery efforts yielded 27 million stolen credentials. Additionally, authorities restricted over 47 million dollars worth of criminal cryptocurrency assets. The post described the development as cybercrime crews losing part of their malware supply chain. It presented the figures as outcomes of the operation against the infrastructure behind Amadey and StealC. No other details, such as the identities of the authorities involved or the locations of the affected servers and domains, were included in the X post. The report remained focused on these quantitative results from the takedown. This single event centers on the reported dismantling of the specified malware infrastructure through Operation Endgame.
