Same scam pattern has also been used by SamFW. Tungtata, a Vietnamese scammer, advertises on the internet that his ‘tool’ can remove FRP and other issues, but what it actually does is install malware on the victim’s computer. A similar scam has also been reported in MSN News, where malware is being installed through games. Tungtata did the same thing to his SamFW tool as well.
Another example of the same scheme is cryptocurrency trading bots contain malware and follow the same scam patterns.
Social engineering via a fake “legit tool”: attacker markets a “one-click” FRP removal / support tool (or trading bot / game-related download) to earn trust and drive downloads.
once installed, the malware targets the victim’s crypto wallet(s)/browser data and can watch for wallet activity.
FRP tools, trading bots, or even “games on Steam” are just different packaging/delivery lures the underlying pattern is malware distribution
