Club44 is finished

Imagine selling a bypass tool and then getting your entire database leaked. Couldn't secure a WordPress site apparently.

So what happened?

Someone found a hole in their site. Instead of being nice about it, they grabbed the whole database - emails, Discord IDs, HWIDs, license keys, payment info. Then wiped everything and had some fun with the homepage.

The best part? These guys were selling a tool to help cheaters avoid detection. Now every single one of their customers is exposed. The irony is almost too perfect.

Heads up: If you ever ran Club44, someone could have backdoored your setup file without you knowing. Factory reset your PC or enjoy the malware lottery.

"They tried to bypass anti-cheats but couldn't bypass basic SQL injection."

What this garbage does

For anyone curious what they were actually paying for:

Disguises as legit software

Pretends to be Steam, WinRAR, OneDrive installers. Real creative.

Drops DLLs in your temp folder

Leaves files behind that stick around even after "cleaning"

The famous "Clean Traces" button

Spoiler: we still find the traces. It doesn't work.

VMProtect packing

Makes it harder to analyze. VirusTotal still flags it 16+ times.

Requires fullscreen + beta mode

Very convenient and not suspicious at all

Press 4 to inject

groundbreaking technology

File hashes

In case you want to check if you've been a victim. Or report them.

Yeah, we detect all of this

ClubhouseAC catches Club44 and the mess it leaves behind. The "Clean Traces"button they're so proud of doesn't do much against forensic scanning. We find the registry keys, temp files, and artifacts their cleaner misses.

If someone in your server used this, we'll know.
