GameHack is a category label rather than a single family, covering cheating tools, trainers, and exploit utilities for online games. While the tools themselves are often classified as PUA rather than outright malware, they are frequently bundled with credential-stealing malware targeting gaming accounts, particularly Steam, Battle.net, and similar platforms.

While the tools themselves are often classified as PUA rather than outright malware, they are frequently bundled with credential-stealing malware targeting gaming accounts, particularly Steam, Battle.net, and similar platforms.
GameHack covers game-cheating utilities and trainers distributed through cheat forums, YouTube tutorial links, and pirated software sites, often bundled with credential stealers.
Unfamiliar processes when running game cheats, antivirus alerts citing GameHack or HackTool, and secondary infostealer infections following cheat use are typical signs.
