A recent report from Kaspersky reveals a growing trend where malware targeting gamers has emerged. This campaign began last December and specifically targets users downloading torrents of popular games. Hackers silently install XMRig, a Monero mining program, on these gamers’ devices. This underscores the importance of ensuring cybersecurity while downloading files online. As gaming continues to grow, so does the risk of such attacks. Gamers need to keep vigilant against these threats to protect their systems and assets.
