Brazil orders Discord to suspend livestreaming after teen suicide
Brazil's data protection authority orders Discord to disable its Go Live livestreaming feature nationwide until child-safety safeguards are demonstrated.
Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) found robust evidence that Discord failed to protect children from harmful content and ordered the Go Live feature suspended until effective safeguards are shown, following the July death of a 13-year-old girl during a roughly 45-minute livestream; five teenagers were arrested. Discord has three business days to implement the suspension and could face fines of up to 50 million reais (about $10 million) per violation. Regulators criticized the March addition of end-to-end encryption to Go Live for limiting real-time content detection, and are also investigating Discord's age-verification and content-removal practices, while a parallel probe tied neo-Nazi recruitment communities to Telegram.

Fake GTA 6 Installer Steals Browser Passwords, Discord Tokens and Crypto Data From Gamers
Huntress found fake GTA 6 installer ISOs spreading NJRAT, DCRAT, Mercurial Grabber and a Chaos ransomware wiper that steals credentials.
Huntress analyzed a malicious ISO disguised as a leaked GTA 6 build, distributed via SEO poisoning, torrent sites, and social media, with some images exceeding 100 GB and padded with junk data. The installer stages game-named executables in %TEMP% and deploys NJRAT, DCRAT, and the Mercurial Grabber infostealer, harvesting browser passwords, Discord tokens, Roblox and Minecraft session data, Windows product keys, and cryptocurrency details, with exfiltration via a Discord webhook. A Chaos ransomware variant launched through gta6.exe deletes shadow copies, disables Windows recovery, encrypts files up to 200 MB with AES, and overwrites larger files, effectively acting as a wiper attributed to the 'ASHA Hacker Team'. A Visual Basic script displays a fake 'license not found' error to conceal the already-installed payloads.
