NEW: Hackers are infecting players of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" with a self-spreading malware worm.

It appears the worm is spreading inside game lobbies where there's at least a player whose computer is already infected with the malware.

The malware is on VT: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/cb000abed31b92b4f3f895a633ef0ffaf01a1be0dfc73619acf98c1605a5999d/detection

@lorenzofb anybody RE’d it yet? Interested to see how it’s spreading
@lorenzofb of course this is important information to share, but I feel like it's good to note that it's for the OLD MW2 from 2009, especially when using the picture TC used for their article which is from MW2 2022.
