The friends of others do everything possible to infect as many users as possible with the sole purpose of access connection data stored in the team. Initially, application stores are the safest way to avoid downloading malware, however, the reality is very different.
Both App Store Apple as in the Game store From Google, they distributed a large number of malware and games with this objective when, in theory, everyone had overcome a security filter where their code and operation are analyzed. The latest online store that has demonstrated how hackers can be softened were Steam, the most popular and used video game shop around the world.
Malventy software comes in steam
The application and games that have traditionally slipped into iOS and Android are free to encourage download. It is the same technique as the creators of a game that has fake vapor with malicious software included.
We are talking about the game PiratefiA title that has been described as a free pirate game sandbox. This game, moreover, did not use real game images, but captures others to make it more attractive. When the user has downloaded the game, the Troy was put into service Tojan.win32.lazzzy.gen.
Unfortunately, it was not Steam who realized this problem, which shows that he does not check that they do not check the games that distribute their store or that the process has failed. It was the users themselves who detected the presence of this Trojan horse that has watched Steam of its presence in the store.
At that time, Steam sent a message to all users who had downloaded the game inviting them to use a Software antivirus to eliminate it from equipment or even Format the team To completely remove it from the equipment. The restoration of the team does not imply that the Troy disappears.
It was to access browser cookies and steal the connection data. The game arrived at the store last week and was enough time to assign several users who shared their experience in the Steam forums for Piratefi.
A user says he used his account to buy skins Dota 2Others say they hacked their Microsoft account when they saw how Roblox's money was stolen and sent to all their contacts with a link that invited to download the game.
All prudence is small
The strangest thing is that it seems that no user has stolen Steam's account by modifying the contact email and accessing a password. The best way to avoid being stolen from the steam account or any other platform is to activate two-step authentication via the phone number, not the mail, because the friends of others can also access it , especially if we usually use the same password for everything. Again, it is shown that there is no online operating system or platform which is completely safe. When a hole is covered, another spell.
