Family-friendly Steam game is replaced by crypto malware before being delisted

Valve removed a Steam game after a fan discovered it had been rebranded from Rodent Race into Beyond The Dark and was carrying malware.

The malicious code reportedly targeted cryptocurrency wallets and credential data, raising concerns about wallet security on Steam.

User reports and an independent investigation helped surface the issue before the game spread further.

The case shows how a seemingly ordinary indie game can be used to hide malware on a major platform.
