- Valve removed free horror game 'Beyond The Dark' from Steam due to hidden malware.
- Malware was disguised in a UnityPlayer.dll file, targeting data like passwords and cryptocurrency.
- The game was hijacked from an original title 'Rodent Race', bypassing some Steam verifications.
- AI-generated art and logos were used, possibly to speed up the malicious transformation.
- Malware ran silently even when the game crashed, stealing from wallets like MetaMask.
- Affected users should delete the game, run antivirus scans, and secure their accounts and wallets.
