NIKKE PC game launcher hacked to spread remote access, data-stealing malware

The developers of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE confirmed that hackers compromised the game's PC launcher scripts in a supply-chain attack. The attackers tampered with launcher scripts to distribute malware capable of stealing credentials and cryptocurrency wallet data. This is a classic supply-chain attack where trusted software distribution infrastructure was leveraged to push malicious payloads to end users. The malware includes both remote access trojan (RAT) capabilities and data-stealing functionality targeting sensitive user information. Players who used the PC launcher during the compromise window may have had their credentials and crypto wallets exposed. The incident highlights the ongoing risk of supply-chain attacks targeting gaming platforms and their large user bases.
