This month, Mediatonic and Devolver Digital launched a new fun battle royale game called Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockdown. It has every recipe of a great game, and people are now getting addicted to it on PS4 or PC. But, here's a warning from security experts: an npm package was recently blocked by their system after it contains malicious files linked to the interface of the game.
Fall Guys warning everyone!
In order to warn everyone on installing anything online, here are the full list of the five possible packages that the malware would be accessing from your device:
- /AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/Userx20Data/Default/Localx20Storage/leveldb
- /AppData/Roaming/Operax20Software/Operax20Stable/Localx20Storage/leveldb
- /AppData/Local/Yandex/YandexBrowser/Userx20Data/Default/Localx20Storage/leveldb
- /AppData/Local/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Userx20Data/Default/Localx20Storage/leveldb
- /AppData/Roaming/discord/Localx20Storage/leveldb
As you can see above, four out of five the files were specifically connected to browsers like Chrome, Opera, Yandex Browser, and Brave. This means once you have the malware, hackers can easily know your browser's history.
The only thing's different was the last file storage that once infiltrated, may steal your session cookies or other online content inside your devices.
For now, as advised, it is better to download anything online through trusted sources, not just rough patches.
