An infostealer malware campaign has collected millions of logins from users of various gaming websites, including players that use cheats, pay-to-cheat services.
"The DB for the stealer represents gaming related accounts much more than anything else," Zebleer said, adding that "It's the largest infostealer malware campaign targeting gamers/cheaters in history."
According to the Phantom Overlay developer, the database contains credentials for several million gamers whose systems were infected in malware campaign.
The cheat developer also notes that the domain with the highest number of stolen accounts is Discord, which stands at 14 million entries in the database.
Activision Blizzard recommends 2FA. Reportedly, Activision Blizzard is coordinating with cheat developers to limit the campaign's impact and provide security instructions to holders of compromised accounts.
"There have been claims that some player credentials across the broader industry could be compromised from malware from downloading or using unauthorized software. Activision Blizzard servers remain secure and uncompromised," Activision Blizzard told BleepingComputer.
