Information-Stealing Malware Escalates in Online Gaming

Cyber criminals are increasingly exploiting online gamers, using fake download sites and Discord messages to spread information-stealing malware, according to a report by Sekoia.io. Threat tactics include offering in-game enhancements or cheat codes, leading gamers to activate malicious payloads unknowingly. Sekoia suggests that gamers should download software only from reliable sources and that they take post-infection steps, such as computer resets and password changes.
