A new multi-stage malware campaign is targeting Minecraft users with a Java-based malware that employs a distribution-as-service (DaaS) offering called Stargazers Ghost Network.

"The malware was impersonating Oringo and Taunahi, which are 'Scripts and macros tools' (aka cheats). Both the first and second stages are developed in Java and can only be executed if the Minecraft runtime is installed on the host machine."

    What on earth would you need a cheat client for singleplayer? You already have full control of the game

    Small qulity of live stuff. i.e. "Meteor client" allows me to put fireforks on a hotkey so I don't have to keep them in the hotbar/offhand. I also like that it shows me the trajectory of my arrows or fireballs or that it can automate Totems from the inventory so i can keep my offhand free (again).

    Just a lot of small stuff :)
