Some users of online team-based shooters, battle royale, or survival games commonly use game hacking or cheats to give themselves an advantage over their opponents. Unfortunately, in many cases these cheats do nothing but compromise the user's own data as installing them infects a computer with password and information stealing Trojans.

Such is the case with a malicious campaign discovered by security researcher .sS.! where a YouTube user named Pirate Hack is creating videos that offer free aimbot, wall hack tools, and cheats for popular games such as CS GO, PUBG, and Rust.

Cheats are just not worth it
While the thrill of winning an online game is enough to make people attempt to cheat, in the end it is just not worth it.

By installing these tools, your passwords, logins to online financial sites, browser history, files, and more will be stolen by the attackers and used to steal money or perform identity theft.

Be smart and get better on your own. The alternative is far worse then losing a game.
