Playlists and "podcast" episode descriptions are hiding malware and piracy sites in plain sight on the streaming platform.

    Lol, I love the inclusion of cheat codes like they’re as big of a concern as malware. Won’t someone think of the children?! I found my son playing GTA5 with bighead mode on *sobs uncontrollably*.

    This whole thing sounds like the “drugs in Halloween candy” scare, but this seems to actually be real. Neat.

    P.S. I don’t know if GTA5 actually has bighead mode.

      They probably mean cheat trainers, as opposed to chat codes(extra software that alters the games memory while it’s running), which can often include other malware.
