Pirated digital copies of the film "Odyssey" are being used to spread the Lumma Stealer malware, which compromises viewers' computers. Bitdefender's internal data shows that users have attempted to download malicious executable files disguised as the film, which has not yet been released on online platforms. These counterfeit copies are circulating on illegal sites, and the Lumma Stealer malware can steal sensitive information from infected devices. Bitdefender identified several bait file names that are actually executable files designed to infect computers rather than play the film. This tactic follows a trend of using popular films to disseminate malware, with similar campaigns documented in the past. Cybercriminals exploit the gap between a film's theatrical release and its availability on legal streaming platforms. Users are advised to watch films only through verified services and to keep their cybersecurity software updated.
