Trellix's Advanced Research Center has uncovered a previously undetected infostealer malware named Myth Stealer, written in Rust and marketed on Telegram since late December 2024. This malware specifically targets video games, raising concerns about the security of the gaming community.
A hacker known as EncryptHub has compromised the early access game Chemia on Steam by injecting info-stealing malware into its files, specifically the HijackLoader and Fickle Stealer. The malware operates in the background, allowing it to harvest sensitive data from users while remaining undetected during gameplay. Users are advised to avoid downloading the game until further notice from the developer or Steam, as it remains unclear if the current version is safe.
