Thinking of using a hack in for the online game of your choice to get an unfair advantage? Think again. You might just be inviting trouble because these hacks are often infected with marware according to anti-virus company AVG:
The April AVG Insight reveals how the AVG Viruslab Research Group has identified that more than 90% of all unauthorized ‘hacks’ for major computer games are infected with malware. These hacks take many forms, including cheats, patches and ‘keygens’ that enable use of pirated games, but all are designed to appeal to players looking to either accelerate their in-game process or get something for free. However, while the hacks may appear attractive at first glance, most are created by cybercriminals looking to pry, disrupt or steal.
That’s a big incentive to play fair. Need to read more? Take a look at the AVG Insight Report here.
