Update: In a statement submitted to Shacknews, Symantec clarified that it unintentionally displayed Hearthbuddy as a malicious add-on. The company only intended to display its image as an example, but says the software isn't inherently malicious. We've updated our story accordingly.

Original Story: While we wait for Blizzard to announce “What’s Next” for Hearthstone, it appears in a completely ironic twist, a new report has identified malware disguised as hacks, bots, and deck trackers for the game.

The report comes from security firm Symantec and even points out a number of particular applications, such as Hearthstone Hack Tool v2.1. The hack tool is being called a complete scam as it promises to give players more gold and dust, but it turns out, it carries a malware which steals a user's’ Bitcoin. 

If you’re using programs to cheat in Hearthstone and find yourself with a piece of malware, well, that’s pretty much on you. We recommend you play the game honestly, and if you need to use a hack, then you should maybe move on to another game as you’re completely missing the point of the fun of Hearthstone.
