New Virus called TeslaCrypt

I didn't they was a new software virus called TeslaCrypt and it affects certain kinds of video games like Call of Duty, Minecraft, World of Warcraft, and World of Tanks. Even in the video game world any thing can be hacked and encrypted for malicious purposes for hackers, and cyber criminals to exploit to their gain and advantages. TeslaCrypt is a random soft Trojan virus that can affect video games as far as game saves, custom maps, replays, mods, and profiles on gaming systems.

At one the virus inflected attempts at one time 200 times a day, but now it up to 1800 attempts at this type of rate the certain video games will be affected and do not be surprise if they will be ID thefts as well. I want everyone to remember Swatting where video game hackers use the affected user's address to call the local swat units to get revenge for their losses during Xbox live matches and multiplayer combat. It is gotten to the point where small to medium size businesses are paying big money to recover their important files like customer information, company documents, business deals and acquisitions and mergers and sensitive information on customers.


Like I said before hackers are getting more and more advance by the day inventing new software viruses like Teslacrypt to target popular videos games like a Call of Duty or a World of Warcraft to affect the software in their data systems in the gaming world.  Here are two articles on the topic.
