This Malware-Laced Mario Fan Game Will Turn Your Computer Into an Unwitting Crypto Miner
, the problematic program is an installer of the Mario fan game that has been maliciously modified. The program does, in fact, install the Mario game onto the recipient’s computer. However, it also quietly installs two other malicious executables that are designed to set up a-mining operation using the victim’s Windows hardware. Finally, the program also downloads an additional payload from its C-2 , which is a data-pilfering program known as Umbral Stealer.
As always, it might be wise for gamers to avoid the shadier byways of the internet if they want to avoid a headache of epic proportions.
