Malicious actors set up convincing fake GTA 6 demo sites that distribute a 1.1 MB executable (gta6_installer.exe) identified as a Vidar infostealer; the malware steals saved passwords, session cookies, browser profile data and FTP credentials by launching legitimate browsers in headless mode and retrieving configuration via attacker-controlled profiles (dead-drop resolvers). The report provides IOCs (domains, SHA-256 hash, resolver URLs, network hosts), technical details of extraction and delivery, and guidance for detection, remediation, and account recovery.
