Internet hackers are desperately looking for just about any loophole to put their shit on our machines. Whether it’s showing an ad on a website or opening an email, you’re exposed. And now you will be too if you play Dark Souls 3 in its PC version.

Since 2016, he reports a bug in dark souls 3 netcode, we’ve had the occasional patch to try and fix it, but it seems the problem is still there and serves as a back door for hackers (the bad ones, not the good ones) to inject malware or spyware into computers that run this.

This New Dark Souls 3 Vulnerability Is Hiding in Network Code

Now, a new vulnerability has been discovered that not only gives the attacker access, but also allows malware to be installed remotely in ways the player is not even aware of. Bandai Namco as usual, has drawn a thick veil and has not yet commented on the issue. And that even if the discoverer of the vulnerability has contacted the company to notify them.

The well-known modder and creator of the popular “Blue Sentinel” mod, who has dealt with similar issues in the past and successfully resolved them, said he is working to help the community and this issue is a bad alert. Although he got nothing, of course. Some of the issues this security flaw can cause include:

  • Computer lock.
  • Physical damage to equipment.
  • Theft of login credentials.
  • Running programs in the background

One of the discomforts in the community is the fear that Elden Ring shares the same network code as previous Dark Souls, code that has proven to be very vulnerable.
