Threat actors target gamers with phishing sites and malware disguised as GTA 6 pre-orders ahead of its November release.
Cybercriminals are leveraging anticipation for *Grand Theft Auto 6* to distribute malware and phishing traps. Fake applications and cloned piracy websites are being used to target PC and mobile users, despite the game’s unconfirmed release on those platforms.
Researchers identified campaigns promising exclusive beta keys for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, often requiring payments or software downloads. The attacks range from basic phishing sites to sophisticated multi-platform malware, exploiting rumors about pre-orders.
The game’s November release has fueled speculation, including unsubstantiated claims about crypto integration, which attackers are using to lure victims. No official confirmation of such features exists.
