It's reported that hackers have started to take advantage of Fortnite fever by tricking people into downloading fake versions of the game on Android. Android is one of the few platforms that does not yet support the game. The “how to get Android Fortnite” videos on YouTube promise early download of the game, as you try to download it you’re pushed to other apps and no matter how many apps you download, the game never unlocks - because it doesn't existed.
Commenting on this, Steve Giguere, lead EMEA engineer at Synopsys, said “As much as we are wary of scam phone calls promising too good to be true offers, and investment schemes like the Initial Coin Offerings promising a blockchain based something for nothing, a website promising a contraband release of a new game feels only too possible due to previous precedents of leaks from government documents to Games of Thrones episode spoilers.
