Fake Minecraft Clients Deliver WeedHack Malware Despite Infrastructure Takedown

Threat actors continue distributing WeedHack malware through fake Minecraft clients even after the malware's original infrastructure was dismantled. The campaign persists despite previous takedown efforts, indicating the attackers have shifted distribution methods to maintain propagation to Minecraft players.

Why it matters: Minecraft players face malware infection through compromised client downloads; practitioners should alert users to download only from official sources and monitor for WeedHack indicators of compromise (IOCs) in their environments.
