Scammers Engage Directly with Victims
Scammers assist users in downloading and installing the fake software, building trust on Reddit threads. Malwarebytes traced the hosting website to a Dubai cleaning company and found the command server registered in Russia.
Users are advised to avoid cracked software requiring disabled security measures. The files are double-zipped and password-protected—practices rarely seen in legitimate distributions.
