Some hackers would be hiding malware and viruses inside packages for i Call of Duty: Warzone “cheats”. Players looking for an easy victory by unlocking all weapons with a code could find themselves on the infected computer. If you care about your PC, it pays to play honestly.
Malware in Call of Duty: Warzone cheats
According to the analysis of Activision itself, discussions on how to deceive CoD players would have emerged recently in Dark web, in various hacker forums. Cybercriminals would have decided to convince gamers to download a "dropper". This malicious program can be adapted to install without your knowledge more dangerous malware, capable of paralyzing your system, stealing identity and any bad computer consequences you can image. All while promising free "cheat" programs.
According to the report, the cheats would have allowed infinite ammo for all weapons, extra speed and "1hit1kill". Changes capable of making you win any campaign, if only they were true. Instead, they infect your PC with the worst malware out there.

Another big concern of Activision is that these phantom tricks would have been advertised several times on some forums, one of which is particularly popular among “digital cheaters”. Under the heading “new COD hack” they would pass the information and the link for the compromised download. Even some YouTube channels reported the fake news, with many comments indicating that many players have tried to install these tricks. Ending up exposing yourself to potential attacks.

One of the reasons these attacks are particularly dangerous is that they often require users to disable the secure download feature of the antivirus and firewall, paving the way for possible cyber attacks. If you have tried using this type of trick, try scanning your PC with antivirus and antimalware. And be careful for the future: this type of operation can be as dangerous as it is dishonest.
