GhostSocks Proxy Malware Developer Doxxed — February 2026

If you have an account with GhostSocks Proxy Malware Developer Doxxed, here’s what’s now in circulation.

The Lumma RAT operators publicly doxxed the developer of the GhostSocks proxy-malware service in February 2026 — a notable example of cybercriminals doxxing each other.

The Lumma RAT operators publicly doxxed the developer of the GhostSocks proxy-malware service in February 2026, posting the developer's real name, home address, photographs, and family details to a public underground forum. The operation appears to have been retaliation for a business dispute between the two threat groups.

Already exposed?

You can’t unleak a breach. You can take away what it’s worth.

Deep Sweep shows you every leak tied to you and exactly what to change. Then it strips your name, address and family off the look-up sites that turn a leaked record into somebody knocking on your door — $29 one-time, includes 30 days of Protection. We write to 637 companies. No subscription to start.

We’ll check it against 13.1B+ leaked records right now — no account needed. Continuous monitoring & alerts are part of Protection.

The case is a notable reminder that even malware authors get doxxed. The same techniques that target executives, creators, and ordinary internet users work just as well against people who built the doxxing infrastructure in the first place. Personal-data exposure is a universal risk — no one is above it.

What You Should Do

For everyone: assume your name and address can be cross-referenced from public-records aggregators
Run a Warden to see what an attacker would find about you
Use a credential-monitoring service for ongoing alerts
