Malware Masquerades As Fake Game Crack

[Aeshi]

I support this kind of Malware and greatly hope we see more in the future.

SHOCKING REVEAL! Cracks possibly contain malware!

Seriously guys? And, by the look of it, that's a crack advertised on YouTube? That's like looking for porn by clicking on sex leg links.

PirateBay has VIP uploaders for a reason. Between them and cracks made by scene groups, this is a complete non issue to anyone with even the slightest bit of sense in them (and something that really, REALLY isn't, by any stretch of imagination, news)

By the way, that dude you're buying heroin from in that alley? There is a non-zero chance that he will stab you and take your wallet. CAVEAT EMPTOR, guys.

Old news. No, ancient news. That has been common since the dawn of keygens and cracks.

 

[dryg]

Wow this is really the groundbreaking news that you'd expect from the escapshit. Why did I come back here.

 

[OldNewNewOld]

Wait, people still download those?
Also, almost every anti-virus that I know of has some "run in sandbox" option which can be easily used for everything suspicious.

Cracks and keygens are obviously suspicious, or am I just being paranoid?

 

[ZombieGenesis]

... there are ALWAYS viruses pretending to be keygens. 9 times out of 10 if you're not being careful anything you download in regards to games and pirating will be a virus.
This isn't news... probably trying to scare off piraters I suppose.

This isn't exactly a new thing. But either way I would hope most are smart enough not to try and find that sort of thing through youtube. Your just asking for trouble.

People still want to play pro-evo soccer? On PC?
That's the only newsworthy bit of this piece.

That's what I was thinking. Well the niche titles may be easier to masquerade as.
