Cybercriminals are exploiting the hype around Grand Theft Auto VI by creating fake websites that impersonate official Rockstar Games promotional material. These sites offer a GTA 6 demo download which is actually a Vidar infostealer malware. The malware steals sensitive browser data including passwords, cookies, session tokens, autofill data, and FTP credentials from multiple browsers. It uses legitimate browser binaries in headless mode to bypass protections and steal data more effectively. Stolen session tokens can bypass two-factor authentication, allowing persistent unauthorized access even after password changes. This campaign leverages recent GTA 6 leaks to lure victims.
