Falkirk gamers and parents are warned to watch out for Minecraft hackers using the 'WeedHack' malware. The operation spreads through fake YouTube videos and download sites, giving scammers full remote access to players' devices. According to McAfee Labs, WeedHack disguises itself as free Minecraft mods and game clients. Once installed, the malware gives scammers full remote access to players' devices, including screens, files, and even webcams. Scammers can get their hands on Minecraft session IDs, used to hijack Minecraft accounts, saved passwords, and cookies from 36 different browsers, credentials from Discord, Steam, and Telegram, and system information. They can even gain access to webcams and files and control of keyboards. Gamers - and parents of young Minecraft users - are urged not to follow the scammer's instructions and get in touch with police as it may be a criminal matter. McAfee Labs has found that the tools used for financial theft are now accessible to anyone with an Internet connection and a Discord or Telegram account. This democratization not only facilitates data theft but also encourages cyberbullying among young gamers. People can visit the website for more information on WeedHack and how gamers can keep safe.
