The scam was first floated in March when a cyberattacker posted in hacking forums that they had a free, newbie-friendly method for spreading a RAT. Convince victims the malware is a video game cheat, Activision said in its warning. The threat actor also posted the malware file to set up the attack, which received more than 10,000 views and 260 replies. The same ad has popped back up on the forums and was seen by Activision as recently as March 1.
