This press release has been published as it is without any editing. This Website has not verified claims, if any, made it in.

Did you enjoy Info Quest II? I hope so. It took up a lot of resources.

In other news, we’re collaborating with Telltale Games to create Minecraft: Story Mode! Here are some bullet points to celebrate!

  • Minecraft: Story mode will be a narrative-driven video game created by Telltale Games. It will be about Minecraft.
  • Mojang is collaborating with Telltale and members of the community to make Minecraft: Story Mode as Minecrafty as possible.
  • The first episode will be released some time in 2015, and will be available on Xbox consoles, PlayStation consoles, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android-based devices.
  • Minecraft: Story Mode will be released episodically, just like The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead, or the recent Tales from the Borderlands, which is another developer-collaboration series between Telltale Games and Gearbox Software.
  • We’re not intending on creating an “official” story for Steve, or explaining the world of Minecraft in detail. It will be a cool game.
  • The Minecraft 2 thing was a joke. No really. It was a joke.

If you’re desperate for more insight, read Telltale Games’ post, come back next year, or calm down and play Info Quest II again.

Happy holidays from all the Mojangstas!

Kaspersky announced on its blog that the banking trojan’s latest form had targeted a total of 150 different banks & 20 payment systems worldwide; focusing on the infiltration of Online banking. In total, 15 countries have been attacked, including the United Kingdom, United States, Spain, Russia, Japan & Italy.

“In the fall of 2014, we discovered a new banking Trojan, which caught our attention for two reasons:

First, it is interesting from the technical viewpoint, because it uses a new technique for loading modules.
Second, an analysis of its configuration files has shown that the malware targets a large number of online-banking systems: over 150 different banks and 20 payment systems in 15 countries. Banks in the UK, Spain, the US, Russia, Japan and Italy make up the majority of its potential targets.”

Kaspersky Lab has named the new malware as Trojan-Banker.Win32.Chthonic.
