"These types of attacks are a return to form for classic virus campaigns - video game players are no strangers to trying to avoid malicious downloads while trying to change the game they're playing," the researchers said in a report published today. The attackers mostly use social media channels and YouTube how-to videos for advertising their malware-laced modding-related game tools.Ĭisco Talos researchers who spotted multiple campaigns using these tactics said that they've "seen several small tools looking like game patches, tweaks or modding tools" backdoored with obfuscated malware. Threat actors target gamers with backdoored game tweaks, patches, and cheats hiding malware capable of stealing information from infected systems.
