    I was meant to open a post about this ages ago. Anyway a few months ago a guy who goes by the name g0at was investigating a group of people who were selling cheats and hacks for game called Escape from Tarkov.

    Here's a video of him talking about it.

    I've time stamped the part that impotent.

    I haven't played Escape from Tarkov, but a few months ago I did get my discored account hacked. Viruses are starting to get quite scary. Can a rootkit really get into your system and fry your hard drive and if so how? Is there a way to block it? I always try to prevent Windows from having too much control over the hardware that's plugged into it.
