Cybercriminals Target Call of Duty Cheat Users with Cryptocurrency-Stealing Malware, Compromising Millions of Accounts

网络犯罪分子利用窃取加密货币的恶意软件瞄准《使命召唤》作弊用户，导致数百万个账户受损

A sophisticated malware campaign has been targeting Call of Duty gamers who have downloaded cheats for the popular first-person shooter game, compromising the credentials of more than 4.9 million accounts and potentially exposing them to the theft of cryptocurrency, according to cybersecurity researchers.

据网络安全研究人员称，一场复杂的恶意软件活动一直针对下载了流行第一人称射击游戏作弊码的《使命召唤》游戏玩家，破坏了超过 490 万个帐户的凭据，并可能使他们面临加密货币被盗的风险。

The malware attack has been uncovered by malware sleuth VX Underground, which revealed that an unknown entity is using malicious software to steal login credentials from cheaters before publishing them online. The perpetrators have also infected victims' computers with crypto-draining malware that can steal bitcoin from Electrum wallets.

恶意软件侦探 VX Underground 发现了该恶意软件攻击，该攻击揭示了一个未知实体正在使用恶意软件窃取骗子的登录凭据，然后将其发布到网上。犯罪者还用加密货币耗尽恶意软件感染了受害者的计算机，这些恶意软件可以从 Electrum 钱包中窃取比特币。

The malware campaign was first detected by Call of Duty cheat provider Phantom Overlay, which received reports from users who noticed unauthorized purchases being made from their accounts. Phantom Overlay operates a marketplace where Call of Duty gamers can purchase cheats, such as aimbot and player detection behind walls.

该恶意软件活动首先是由《使命召唤》作弊提供商 Phantom Overlay 发现的，该公司收到了用户的报告，这些用户注意到他们的帐户进行了未经授权的购买。 Phantom Overlay 运营着一个市场，《使命召唤》玩家可以在其中购买作弊软件，例如瞄准机器人和墙后玩家检测。

VX Underground reported that the malware's impact is far-reaching, affecting not only Call of Duty accounts but potentially also other gaming and financial accounts. The compromised accounts include an estimated 3,662,627 Battlenet accounts, 561,183 Activision accounts, 117,366 Elitepvpers accounts, 572,831 UnknownCheats accounts, and 1,365 Phantom Overlay accounts, totaling 4,915,372 compromised accounts.

VX Underground 报告称，该恶意软件的影响是深远的，不仅影响《使命召唤》账户，还可能影响其他游戏和金融账户。被盗账户包括大约 3,662,627 个 Battlenet 账户、561,183 个动视账户、117,366 个 Elitepvpers 账户、572,831 个 UnknownCheats 账户和 1,365 个 Phantom Overlay 账户，总共 4,915,372 个被盗账户。

"Well, they're presumably stealing more than just their Call of Duty-related accounts," VX Underground tweeted. "Being a cheater does not mean you should have your wallet drained. Or maybe some disagree ¯_(ツ)_/¯"

VX Underground 在推特上写道：“好吧，他们窃取的可能不仅仅是与《使命召唤》相关的账户。” “成为骗子并不意味着你应该掏空你的钱包。或者也许有些人不同意 ́_(ツ)_/̅”

Interestingly, in a "bizarre twist of fate," VX Underground revealed that video game company Activision Blizzard is collaborating with cheat providers to assist users who have been infected with the malware due to the widespread impact of the attack.

有趣的是，在“奇怪的命运转折”中，VX Underground 透露，视频游戏公司动视暴雪正在与作弊提供商合作，帮助因攻击影响广泛而感染恶意软件的用户。

VX Underground also clarified that not all of the compromised accounts belong to cheaters, as some users were using software for latency improvement, controller boosting, and VPNs.

VX Underground 还澄清，并非所有被入侵的帐户都属于作弊者，因为一些用户正在使用软件来改善延迟、控制器增强和 VPN。

The nature of the crypto-draining malware, including the amount of cryptocurrency stolen and the delivery methods used, is still under investigation by VX Underground.

VX Underground 仍在调查加密货币恶意软件的性质，包括被盗的加密货币数量和使用的交付方法。

Phantom Overlay, Elitepvpers, and Activision Blizzard have been contacted by Protos for comment, but no response has been received as of this writing.
