Kaspersky researcher Tatyana Shishkova discovered the malware earlier this week. The malware code was being promoted as a download of Cyberpunk 2077 from a fake version of the Google Play mobile app marketplace. The listing for the game even had reviews from users so as to appear legitimate as seen on one of several screenshots of the scam. CoderWare ransomware uses a hardcoded key, which means that paying the ransom may not be necessary if someone falls victim to the scam is necessary. The game is already available for purchase and download for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Stadia.
