MINECRAFT SOURCE PACK BECOMES GATEWAY FOR ZEUS STEALER DISTRIBUTION

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs has discovered that a dangerous malware called zEus stealer is being spread through a Minecraft source pack, targeting Windows users and stealing sensitive data like IP addresses and browser information. The malware cleverly disguises itself as a screensaver file to evade detection and maintains control over infected systems through auto-run entries and a command-and-control script. Users are urged to use MFA, download files from trustworthy sources, and be cautious when downloading custom game mods to protect against threats like zEus.
