"A free-to-play game named PirateFi in the Steam store has been distributing the Vidar infostealing malware to unsuspecting users.
The title was present in the Steam catalog for almost a week, between February 6th and February 12th, and was downloaded by up to 1,500 users. The distribution service is sending notices to potentially impacted users, advising them to reinstall Windows out of an abundance of caution.
SECUINFRA Falcon Team obtained a sample of the malware and identified it as a version of the Vidar infostealer. Consider the credentials, session cookies and secrets saved in your browser, email client, cryptocurrency wallets etc. compromised"
