The Cyberpunk 2077 Mobile Version Is Actually A Ransomware

While Cyberpunk 2077 has had a bumpy launch after a lot of delays, we all know that the game is only available for PC and gaming consoles. So unmistakably, there is no mobile version of the game (a Cyberpunk 2077-themed smartphone exists, though). However, a malware analyst surprisingly has found an Android version of Cyberpunk 2077 in the wild but it is actually ransomware.

Now, as you can see, Shishkova notes that it is a new Android ransomware app disguised as Cyberpunk 2077. The ransomware is called CoderWare, which is a variant of BlackKingdom.
