Commenters have warned of possible data theft after an X account repeatedly promoted a purported TradingView Premium crack since mid-October; the promotion’s reported peak view count exceeded 300,000.

The download requires a password-protected archive and a KeyGen tool to generate an activation code. The account described the project as open source on GitHub, but its download link led elsewhere. It said the repository had been made private and that one-time links were available only through the application.

Commenters warned that the software could steal account information and crypto wallets. One user said antivirus software flagged the file as a virus and deleted it after the archive was unpacked.
