  "account": "An elaborate malware campaign is targeting Roblox players, disguised as a popular cheat tool. The malicious software, which takes the form of the \"undetected\" Xeno Executor mod, can grant hackers complete control over a victim's computer, including the webcam. This infiltration begins with a Java-based Remote Access Trojan (RAT) and an information stealer, designed to harvest sensitive data such as browser passwords, online account credentials, payment information, and cryptocurrency wallet data. The campaign, which peaked in March 2026, continues to pose a significant threat to Roblox's 82 million active players.",
  "summary": "A new \"invisible\" Xeno Executor is actually a highly capable RAT and a potent infostealer.",
