That fake Grand Theft Auto VI demo is actually just malware

Cybercriminals are distributing malware disguised as a Grand Theft Auto VI demo to exploit interest in the highly anticipated game. The attack targets fans seeking early access or leaked footage, using their enthusiasm as a social engineering vector.

Why it matters: Gaming enthusiasts and general computer users are at risk of malware infection if they download fake game demos; practitioners should alert end users and monitor for this campaign.
