A free game on Steam called Beyond The Dark contained hidden malicious software.
The game originally started as a simple title named Rodent Race. Someone hijacked the developer’s account and quickly changed the name, images, and other details. This tricked Steam, which does not verify updates.
The malware was hidden in a file called UnityPlayer.dll. The game often crashes when run, but the malware keeps operating in the background.
It searches for crypto wallet extensions in Chrome, such as MetaMask, connects to a malicious server, and downloads tools to steal passwords, browser data, and cryptocurrency. Some reports say it may also steal Roblox information.
YouTuber Eric Parker discovered the malware and made a video about it. Steam then removed the game completely.
If you downloaded or played it:
>Delete the game immediately.
>Run a full virus scan with updated antivirus software.
>Change all important passwords, especially for email, browsers, and crypto accounts.
>Check your crypto wallets for missing funds and transfer any remaining balance to a new secure wallet on another device.
This is a common tactic on Steam now
Just got permanently banned from r/cosplay with no warning or response for posting THIS PHOTO. Mind you my reddit account is and always has been completely SFW
To the folks who have sent me a shit ton of kind messages.
No thank you needed, I’m just happy the girl was safe with her friends.
Please trust your gut if you’re in a similar situation.
I reported everything to Uber last night.
I re-reported it to them just now to the right people.
I also called the girl this morning to make sure she was okay and informed her on the situation.
I just got into my Uber and realized there was a drunk and unresponsive girl in the passenger seat. I asked the Uber driver about this and he said “she’s gonna sleep at my place”.
I said “oh hell no”.
