This is indeed a warning everyone who loves to make use of free tools should take note of and be concerned about. If possible, they should cross-check and scan their device to check if they have been infected by any such familiar software.
This is also similar to this type of attack I read about just few days ago from this
Crackonosh: How hackers are using gamers to become crypto-rich pirated games and cheating tools, and other tools always ratted or contains virus, i even recently got hit by a virus and did full cleaning. i will make a thread about it.
Nothing is free out there. I suspect everything you offer to me as free to have an ulterior motive behind it. Unless I'm using a different device for gaming and another device for other things, I avoid installing any cheat codes on my device.
