GRAND THEFT AUTO VI HYPE LEADS TO MALWARE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Fake "leaked GTA6" ISOs spread through SEO poisoning, gaming forums, and torrent sites deliver a Russian-language installer that pre-warns of a "License not found" error, giving victims a reason for the missing game while payloads drop into %TEMP%. Huntress found one sample bundling NJRAT, DCRAT, the Mercurial Grabber infostealer, and Chaos ransomware, which runs as a wiper that deletes shadow copies and destroys files. Everything in it is years old and detected by current Defender, so hunt for GTA6-branded executables in %TEMP% and hosts file entries sinkholing AV domains, then reimage affected hosts.
