Valve removed a game from its online store Steam because the product was laced with malware.

Security researchers analyzed the malware and found that whoever planted it modified an existing video game in an attempt to trick gamers into installing an info-stealer called Vidar .

Vidar has been used in several hacking campaigns, including one attempting to steal Booking.com ’s hotel credentials.
