🚨 Gamers are now being targeted by hackers using crypto-mining malware! According to Kaspersky, cybercriminals are distributing Monero mining applications through torrents of popular games like http://BeamNG.drive, Garry’s Mod, and Dyson Sphere Program. 🎮 The malware is delivered via crack installers that bypass copy protection, allowing users to play the downloaded games while secretly mining cryptocurrency. This campaign, dubbed "StaryDobry," exploits repacks—compressed game versions for faster downloads. ⏩ Kaspersky began detecting these infections in January 2025, but the campaign has been in the works since at least September. The Monero miner activates remotely, targeting computers with eight or more cores for maximum yield. Most infections have been reported in Russia, with additional cases in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Germany, and Brazil. While the attackers remain unidentified, Kaspersky suspects a Russian group due to language clues in their files. Stay vigilant, gamers! What are your thoughts on this alarming trend? Let us know! 💬
