Users reported that a trojan virus with drive exterminator had been found in native DLLs bundled with QuantV. After analyzing a legitimately purchased version of the mod, FiveM found the claims to be valid. FiveM further disclosed, “the offending code is in the 'QuantV.asi' file, which contains oddly obfuscated strings that runs 'rmdir' on an enumeration of drive letters.” Cfx.re/FiveM@FiveMTo be precise, the offending code is in the 'QuantV.asi' file, which contains oddly obfuscated strings that, among other things (still to be investigated), runs `rmdir` on an enumeration of drive letters.45138To be precise, the offending code is in the 'QuantV.asi' file, which contains oddly obfuscated strings that, among other things (still to be investigated), runs `rmdir` on an enumeration of drive letters. https://t.co/4rjMrRT0HX Some rumors claimed that the malware was added by some 'leaker' and not the original author. But FiveM did not find such instances to be genuine during their investigation. Further, the investigation uncovered both the enbhelper.dll and QuantV.asi files to contain full disk wipe/HTTP check logic. The malware wasn’t discovered initially, as the compiler settings were different.
