A recent incident has raised concerns about security on the Steam platform, following the removal of a sniper game demo that was found to contain data-stealing malware. Reports indicate that the demo had been downloaded by users before its removal, prompting warnings from various sources about potential security vulnerabilities associated with Steam. Additionally, there are reports of browser-in-the-browser attacks targeting players of Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), which aim to compromise Steam accounts through phishing websites masquerading as legitimate login portals. These phishing sites often lure users with offers of free in-game items, exacerbating the risks for gamers. As cybercriminals continue to exploit weaknesses in online gaming platforms, the need for enhanced security measures on Steam has become increasingly urgent.
