GoT: Ice and Fire - LeZ1Cbd - 04-02-2019
I read this post https://threatpost.com/game-of-thrones-malware-piracy/143318/ which also says:
“In many regions, popular programs are also consumed via illegal channels, such as torrent-trackers and unauthorized streaming platforms,” according to a Monday report from Kaspersky Lab. “Unlike legitimate resources, torrent trackers and hosted files may prompt a user to download a file that looks like an episode of a TV show, but is in fact malware with a similar name.
Do you guys know if such attempts been made systematically to spread malwares along with high demand TV show or movie? Its interesting tactic. I saw many torrents with new titles and old video or just junk. Sometimes they seed huge video file and specific media player which asks password to unlock the media file.
