Attackers can disguise ordinary computer malware as homebrew software, and the technique works against any retro platform with an active modding scene, not just one console. We recently looked at one example aimed at PlayStation Vita owners: a fake project that pretends to be a free audio tool but actually runs Windows malware on your computer.
