WeedHack Malware Turns Minecraft Mods Into a 116,000-System Infostealer Campaign

WeedHack has infected more than 116,000 systems by targeting Minecraft players through malicious mods, clients, cheats and utilities. McAfee telemetry shows 116,464 affected systems, 2,000 to 3,000 infections a day, more than 240 distribution URLs and 3,820 malicious JAR files. The next signal is whether Minecraft mod communities can move users back toward official download sources before infostealer distribution expands further.
