2 Sep
Summary
- Scammers offer fake GTA 6 PC version for $50.
- Website drains cryptocurrency wallets via fake sales.
- Malicious script targets multiple blockchain networks.
A cryptocurrency scam has emerged, exploiting the recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks. A website, latestgta6[.]com, is purporting to sell a PC version of the unreleased game for $50, a version that does not officially exist. This site, flagged by Malwarebytes, is designed to drain cryptocurrency wallets by tricking users into connecting their wallets and approving fraudulent transactions. The scam targets users across Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, and Fantom blockchains. It can steal assets immediately or gain future access to tokens and NFTs. The site reportedly blocks visitors from several countries including Russia and Armenia. This incident serves as a stark reminder to be cautious of fake game leaks and unofficial offers, as similar fake GTA 6 demo sites have previously distributed malware.
