Security researchers at Bitdefender have issued a warning about a new wave of attacks involving pirated copies of the film The Odyssey. Fake files claiming to be the movie are actually a trap. Once downloaded, these files infect personal computers with a malicious program known as Lumma Stealer.

This malware is designed to scrape sensitive data directly from your device. It specifically targets crypto wallet files, saved browser passwords, and active session cookies. By gaining access to these files, attackers can attempt to drain digital asset accounts or hijack online identities.

If you have recently downloaded files from unofficial sites, you should run a security scan immediately. Experts recommend using official streaming platforms to avoid these risks. Protect your digital assets by keeping your wallets secure and avoiding suspicious downloads.
