Spotify Has A Pirated Software Problem

Wrong, copying is a solution.

Lol, I love the inclusion of cheat codes like they're as big of a concern as malware. Won't someone think of the children?! I found my son playing GTA5 with bighead mode on sobs uncontrollably*.
This whole thing sounds like the "drugs in Halloween candy" scare, but this seems to actually be real. Neat.
P.S. I don't know if GTA5 actually has bighead mode.

They probably mean cheat trainers, as opposed to chat codes(extra software that alters the games memory while it's running), which can often include other malware.

I definitely remember bighead mode in NFL Blitz 2000 on the OG Playstation

Yup, I used to be in the scene and I'm a musician, had a bunch of my releases, both ones I couriered and albums I released on Spotify, names of songs with the same misspelling.

People are using Spotify playlist and podcast descriptions to distribute spam, malware, pirated software and cheat codes for video games
