How common is malware in EFT cheats?

[meepmoop12]

I wanted to know how common it was for cheats to end up infected with a RAT or RootKit.

Does everyone take the risk that their cheats might be infected? Even if you stick to trusted and known cheats, would anyone even be able to tell if it was infected with something?

Or are there some steps everyone takes to try to ensure safety?

Buy from a reputable seller and you'll be fine.

Check the sticky threads on the black market found here.

Kern, Dep, me, and some others on epvp all offer good products.

Yep agreed, I decided on Kernaim. Still I do wonder how many of these products have some sort of kill switch in them.

I mean, if you run known stuff you will be fine. Either way, if you're still paranoid about it, you can either make a 2nd boot just to cheat on (and make sure that you protect your 1st one), or just cheat on a different pc.

Imo this is the best setup for cheating, 2 cheap drives in raid0 so you dont get banned, no personal stuff on it so you dont have to care about malware
If you disconnect your main drives and dont plug in any other storage devices then youre basicaly immune
There are only a few uefi rootkits that will infect your mobo but like 90% of malicous eft cheats are 'made' by some skids that use redline and just rely on the victim turning off defender

The risk of cheating is that a developer can add a rat to your loader at anytime; it’s all about your trust. My recommendation is to find a provider you trust and that others you know trust.

Questions about this. So if you turn back on defender, will it be able to track it down or once you turn off and launch is gg.

Yep, I figured it was the case; I went with Kern. It seems trusted enough.

While using the cheat you have to turn all antivirus off, this is because in many ways a cheat acts like malware (downloading files, injecting dlls, reading memory/files etc) so defender for example will either block it entirely (this would be good since you cant run it at all) or itll block parts of it which will either cause the cheat to not work at all or even cause bans if parts of the bypass are blocked from running

But yes, if you launch and there is a malicous payload built-in that "detonates" its ggs, shouldnt take long for a well optimized programm to read all important files, extract them and install some sort of persistance

If you run cheats on your personal computer its always a good idea to scan all files on your pc + doing an offline scan
Also turn safe boot back on!

I'd always recommend cleaning your pc after you finish cheating.

TY both. I plan on doing that from the start. Great tips.
