NIKKE PC game launcher hacked to spread remote access, data-stealing malware

The developers of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE confirmed that attackers compromised the game's PC launcher scripts in a supply-chain attack to distribute malware capable of stealing credentials and cryptocurrency wallet data. The tampered launcher exposed players who downloaded the affected version to credential theft and financial fraud vectors.

Why it matters: Players of NIKKE on PC who used the compromised launcher are at risk of credential compromise and financial loss; security teams should monitor for this malware signature and advise users to change passwords and review wallet activity.
