Malicious code found in some ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ mods

Mods are great for customizing games, particularly PC games. But that doesn’t mean they’re entirely safe. Some people do want to exploit the vulnerability these mods create. It has been found that the popular Angry Planes and No Clip mods for Grand Theft Auto V contain malicious code. A GTA Forums member found a Fade.exe executable in his temporary files folder after Angry Planes mod started to misbehave. It was found to be a keylogger. Other malware found in the mod included a Facebook spam/credential stealing module, a Messenger.com spam/credential stealing module, a UDP flooding module and a keylogger module, a Steam spamming module, and a Twitch spam/credential stealing module.

RPG ‘Divinity: Original Sin’ makes its way to consoles

A new decidedly old-school role-playing game is making its way to the Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One. Divinity: Original Sin will be coming to these two consoles in the form of an Enhanced Edition. It’ll feature a new interface, split-screen couch co-op, and full-on voice work. Of course, there will be new questions, stories, and tweaks to the combat system.

PC users aren’t being ignored though. The Enhanced Edition will be a free update for Windows, Mac, Linux, and SteamOS. There isn’t any word when this’ll come out but Larian Studios plans to give up more info at the Electronics Entertainment Expo next month.
