Malware Found in Meccha Chameleon Steam Workshop Maps, Discord Server Also Hacked

Meccha Chameleon, the multiplayer prop hunt game that sold 15 million copies in its first month, has been hit by a malware campaign targeting Steam Workshop community maps. Independent researcher Feint traced the issue to maps like "Laser Tag Neon" and "Chroma Grid Arena," which functioned as malicious droppers, secretly installing a Remote Access Trojan on players' PCs and granting attackers persistent remote control. Crucially, players had to actually load and play a map to get infected; simply downloading it was not enough. Developers patched the vulnerability in update 3.1.0, which the studio says makes it impossible for maps to execute unrelated files like malware.

The developers have moved quickly to address the situation, rolling out Update 3.2.0 specifically targeting the infected Workshop content, and they have stated that the core game itself remains safe to play. However, the situation has grown more complicated than a simple bad upload, with reports indicating that the game's official Discord server may also have been compromised.

Meccha Chameleon Is Going Viral — and Its Smartest Player Doesn't Even Hide

Meccha Chameleon, the new social deduction and disguise game taking the internet by storm, is already producing legendary moments — and none more entertaining than a player who has completely flipped the game's core mechanic on its head. While the game challenges players to blend in with their surroundings and outwit opponents through clever disguise, one standout player has gone viral for doing the exact opposite: refusing to disguise themselves at all. The audacious strategy, described cheekily as "hiding is for amateurs," has left opponents utterly bamboozled, as they struggle to process why someone would so brazenly ignore the game's central survival mechanic — only to fall for the psychological trap anyway.
