A trojan virus that infected millions of PCs and stole 1.2 terabytes of personal information was largely spread through illegal software, including pirated games and a cracked version of Adobe Photoshop, security researchers from NordLocker said. Inside the treasure trove of stolen data were 1.1 million unique email addresses and 26 million login credentials, among other things

Really makes you think if you are actually downloading things that are "safe". It's always good to run a virus sca before you download anything fishy especially these "cracks"

It's 3.2 millions not 32 though (title)

This source is very vague, no information about the kind of games (crack team ?) or whatever, plus "This particular malware campaign does not have a name, in part because it flew under the radar while active, then presumably disappeared" sounds very bullshitty

I believe the FTU group to be the origin of the virus, or at least the leading distributor of the trojan. Non-malicious link: https://ftuapps.dev/ - hosts some big Windows programs with embedded or binded RAT servers.

Actually, I found it. Do NOT download and do NOT run the following unless you're testing it in a secure environment. It contains a false positive for the key-gen but the installer is malware.

Infected folder name: ....\Adobe Photoshop 2021 v22.3.1.122 (x64) Patched (I will give the final folder name not the file to avoid getting myself a ban.)

Easily can tell it is a packed binary by looking at entropy level:

But how many pc's and phones are infected?

I bet you it is a lot higher. So tired of the entertainment industry blaming piracy. Like, who even uses computers any more? Jk

But seriously....
