Malwarebytes reported a new on-chain threat linked to GTA 6 leak scams. Phishing sites are offering fake game downloads for $50 or 1 SOL, tricking users into connecting their wallets. A 2.4 MB script scans Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, and other networks to steal tokens or grant future access. The script avoids executing in 10 countries. Real-world asset (RWA) news indicates these attacks target multi-chain holdings. Malwarebytes warns users to avoid such sites and carefully review transaction permissions.

Huo Xing Finance reports that, according to Malwarebytes, scammers are exploiting the hype around GTA 6 to create phishing websites claiming to sell leaked versions of the game for $50 or 1 SOL, tricking visitors into connecting their wallets and signing malicious transactions. The website contains approximately 2.4 MB of malicious code capable of identifying wallet assets on seven blockchains: Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, and Fantom, and immediately transferring assets or gaining permission for subsequent transfers of tokens and NFTs upon victim authorization. Before triggering, the script checks the visitor’s IP address to avoid users from 10 countries, including Armenia and Russia. Malwarebytes advises users to remain vigilant against any websites claiming to sell leaked versions of GTA 6, carefully review authorization details before signing transactions, and refuse any requests to transfer entire balances or grant token access permissions.
