Godot Engine Exploited for Cross-Platform Malware Attacks

Cybercriminals are exploiting the open-source Godot Engine to distribute a new cross-platform malware called GodLoader, affecting over 17,000 systems. The malware campaign uses Godot's scripting capabilities to execute malicious commands undetected by most antivirus software. It leverages GitHub repositories for distribution and targets multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. The campaign highlights the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures in the gaming ecosystem and the importance of downloading software from trusted sources.
