Fake PS5 emulator repositories on GitHub spread password-stealing malware
Malicious copies of AnyPS5 and Kyttyps5 use cleanup scripts and antivirus exclusions; the campaign may be automated, researchers say
Malicious repositories pretending to offer popular PS5 emulation tools have been found spreading malware reported to steal passwords, according to a report by NordVPN's Threat Intelligence research team. The malware's payload is believed to be an infostealer, a type of malware that can steal passwords and other sensitive data. The campaign targets users looking for AnyPS5 and Kyttyps5, two legitimate projects for running PlayStation 5 games on PC.
