MSI is currently warning of a fake website that offers a download of the Afterburner infected with various malware. The contaminated download can contain Trojans and keyloggers, among other things, with the help of which the attackers can also steal potentially sensitive information from the victims.
Website distributes malware by download
MSI itself warns in an official press release about the fake website with the address https://afterburner-msi.space and clearly points out the MSI Afterburner under no circumstances can be obtained from this source.
MSI Afterburner (Image: MSI) Do not download any software from this website!
MSI
caution is absolutely necessary
The manipulated website, whose domain is not related to MSI, mimics the OC website Tools true to the original and thus deceives unsuspecting users. The fake website was offline several times in the last few hours and then briefly accessible again. It is also possible that the infected download will appear on other websites.
MSI points out that the official download of the MSI Afterburner is routinely not available for a short time due to maintenance work will be. However, the download via the official website is not affected and poses no risk, according to MSI.
