Fake GTA 6 Downloads Malware: Critical Threat

The report analyzes a malicious campaign that lures users with fake GTA 6 ISO downloads; the package installs RATs (NJRAT, DCRAT), an infostealer (Mercurial Grabber), and Chaos ransomware that acts as a wiper, exposing credentials and destroying or overwriting files. Huntress’ analysis describes the social‑engineering delivery, infection steps, impacted data and systems, mitigation guidance (isolation, backups, MFA, official sources), and provides IoCs such as filenames, hashes, IPs and domain names for detection.
