An
X from SteamDB
shares an email from Valve warning about a game called PirateFi that was pulled
from
Steam a couple of days ago, shortly after its release. Word is it is
suspected that the free-to-play game included malware, which prompted its
removal. This warns players who tried it before this was discovered they may be
infected:
We are contacting you because you recently launched PirateFi
(3476470) on Steam. The Steam account of the developer for this game uploaded
builds to Steam that contained suspected malware.
You played PirateFi (3476470) on Steam while these builds were active, so it
is likely that these malicious files launched on your computer.
The builds containing the suspected malware have been removed from Steam, but we
strongly encourage you to run a full-system scan using an anti-virus product
that you trust or use regularly, and inspect your system for unexpected or newly
installed software. You may also consider fully reformatting your operating
system to ensure that no malicious software remains on your machine.
Please contact Steam Support with any further questions.
