Leveraging Lumma C2 for Early Threat Detection via DNS

Just a few years ago, threat intelligence data regarding malicious domains offered a protective window while malware was actively spreading. Blocking these malicious domains upon publication provided defense for numerous organizations.

Threat actors now prioritize speed, gaining an upper hand, necessitating a responsive defense strategy.
