🐭🐭Cybercriminals take advantage of the popularity of the Hamster Kombat game to spread malware!!!!

Cybersecurity company ESET has identified multiple cases in which cybercriminals use the game as bait to distribute information-stealing spyware and malware, affecting both Android and Windows devices.

- The Telegram, malicious Hamster channels distribute malware disguised as the game application. One channel in particular, called ‘HAMSTER EASY’, distributes Ratel spyware in the form of an APK file (‘Hamster.apk’) with no legitimate functionality. This spyware can intercept SMS messages and device notifications, and is mainly used to subscribe victims to premium services.

-On Windows, users are also the target of scams with Lumma Stealer, a malware distributed through malicious repositories on GitHub that attempt to offer farming bots for cryptocurrency gaming. These repositories contain versions of the malware in C++, Go, and Python applications.
