Call of Duty Cheat Software Infected with Malware, Drains Millions of Players' Bitcoin

Call of Duty players seeking cheat software were targeted by malware that stole their Bitcoin. Over 4.9 million gaming accounts may be impacted.

The malware targeted Electrum Bitcoin wallets and drained crypto from victims' accounts. The total amount stolen is unknown.

Activision Blizzard is coordinating with cheat providers to aid impacted users. Other gaming platforms were also affected.

The delivery method of the malware is unclear, but it may have come from malicious websites, emails, or message clicks.

This comes shortly after similar wallet-draining malware stole over $300k in Bitcoin from the founder of the Ordinal Rugs NFT project.
