A new multi-stage malware campaign is targeting Minecraft users with a Java-based malware that employs a distribution-as-service (DaaS) offering called Stargazers Ghost Network.
“The malware was impersonating Oringo and Taunahi, which are ‘Scripts and macros tools’ (aka cheats). Both the first and second stages are developed in Java and can only be executed if the Minecraft runtime is installed on the host machine.”
The fact that those people didn’t even decompile the JAR files is amazing.
You realize that like 0.1% if the population even knows what that means, much less would bother to do it? We’re talking about the best selling video game of all time.
Considering that the ENTIRE Hypixel SkyBlock cheating community warns about these things (and there are websites that tell you if a JAR file may be compromised), it is impressive.
