I'm surprised there haven't been more events of mods and tools being used as trojans. For all the concern about anti-cheat/DRM, PC gamers seem very selective over what sources of code they're running on their computers they scrutinize. There's an awful lot of users with "just enough" levels of knowledge where I think a tempting enough release with the right timing for a hot game could get a lot of installs.


What do you mean? There have been ton of stealers and RAT mods for games (and even for normal mobile apps too). It's absolutely a problem and a ton people fall victim to them.
