WeedHack is a large-scale malware-as-a-service infostealer campaign targeting Minecraft players through malicious mods, YouTube-traced download links and SEO-poisoned sites; McAfee telemetry attributes 116,464 infections and reports a clear-net dashboard offering free and paid tiers that steal session IDs, browser credentials, crypto wallets and (in premium tiers) provide remote access, keylogging, webcam and shell capabilities, creating broad credential-theft and harassment risk.
