"Umbral Stealer is an infostealer virus that can record keystrokes and take screenshots. In basic terms, it attempts to harvest sensitive information from the machines it infects, as it's primarily geared towards stealing users' passwords and cryptocurrency. The virus was distributed via a patch to Duet Night Abyss' launcher, which went live on Steam at 7:39 am UTC on March 18."
"Even after the initial breach, persistent attempts to continue the attack and spread misinformation have occurred. We strongly condemn these actions. As security is a vital pillar of a live product, this incident has served as a serious wake-up call for our team."
