On June 26, a user on a Steam forum alerted other players of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that hackers “attack using hacked lobbies,” and suggested running an antivirus. The malware mentioned in the thread appears to be on the malware online repository VirusTotal.

Olympic #esports #tournament adds #Fortnite, but not any Fortnite mode you've seen before

I can't say that I think Fortnite target shooting sounds very exciting otherwise—I don't think "technical shooting and ballistics simulation" when I think Fortnite—but I have in the past been riveted by Farming Simulator esports, so maybe it'll surprise us.

Boycotting ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ will only achieve one thing: more controversy

But that isn’t the case here. Trying to find a discussion of this game from a party that isn’t invested in those wider issues is next-to-impossible at the moment. It’s either the best thing since Skyrim, or the worst since Kane and Lynch. It’s being review-bombed in both directions by people who haven’t even played it.

Hackers had initially used the flaw to give themselves elevated levels within the game and ban other users, but it has since become apparent that the same exploits can be used to achieve partial RCE on victims' PCs.
