Pokemon Card Game Is Fake
When anyone clicks on the “Play on PC” button on the website, it downloads an installer, instead of installing a game. The installer buries a tool called NetSupport Manager deep into your files which is actually a back door to your PC. In order to make matters worse, the malicious download has an official-looking Pokémon icon and file information to trap people. It makes it easy to convince anyone who just downloaded the file, especially a young user, to open it. Beware! the fake website for the Pokémon Game is still live. This malware seems convincing because a Pokémon NFT card game sounds like something that can be a real thing due to the popularity of Pokémon and NFTs. Nintendo also showed tepid interest in NFTs and the metaverse during a Q&A last year however, it hasn’t announced any NFT games, but a good fake game is still fooling someone who doesn’t keep up with the news. Hackers always try to find creative ways in order to get you to click on a bad link. It can be a convincing pop-up ad or a strange email thread. So, play it safe and don’t click on anything except the one that’s totally safe. Also Read: TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge Is Now Available On iOS/Android For Netflix Subscribers – PhoneWorld
