On Monday, PC news site WCCFTech reported that thousands of eager gamers had been taken in by a fake file distributed on torrent sites, which appeared to be a leaked PC version of GTA V, but was actually a great big bundle of malware.

Site metrics and Seed Ratio reveal that this particular torrent has been downloaded well into the thousands. The setup file is a realistic 18GB and has an actual setup.exe file, one that works. Basically a malicious replica of the original setup file, this one doesnt give out any hint of malicious activity.

As CNET later reported:

The file looks legit, appearing near the top of Google search results, and nearly 7,000 users connected; however, appearing as a setup.exe file, the first clue that something could be awry is the file size 18.3GB, compared to 7.7GB for the Xbox 360 version.
