Malware infiltrates Microsoft Store via clones of popular games

Malware named Electron Bot has found its way into Microsofts Official Store through clones of popular games such as Subway Surfer and Temple Run. The malware is written in Electron, hence the name, and it can emulate natural browsing behavior and perform actions as if it’s a real website visitor. The goal of the threat actors is social media promotion and click fraud, which they achieve by controlling social media accounts on Facebook, Google, YouTube, and Sound Cloud. The infection chain begins with the victim installing one of the laced apps from within the Microsoft Store.”]
