>get offered a job as a mod on indeed or some shit.
>they contact me and make me install this shitty game https://store.steampowered.com/app/2104960/Dashverse/
>ffw a week later and now my steam account is compromised and being used to push this scam forward... https://www.reddit.com/user/unstopablesonitus/

they have a list of all your saved passwords, all your cookies, your browser history, and anything else they thought to steal. their goal is probably to make money off you. if they can blackmail you they probably will.

Be sure to reset all your passwords and anything else you had saved on your browser. Hell, reinstalling your OS will probably be good too. Sorry this happened OP.

All of this could've been avoided with an antivirus, but /g/ bugchasers only know common sense. Well common sense actually means using an antivirus, even if it's Windows Defender kept up to date if you're on Windows.

Report the game to Steam as malware.

Holy fucking shit just don't be retarded.

Fun fact, if you fall for a scam once then the scammers will put all your details into a file called something like "retards.txt" and sell it around because, as the adage goes, "fool me once, man that sucks but i think im going to get a big windfall once this fake investment app pays out"

Sir, this is 4chan, you're asking for way too much.

Imagine losing your 500k crypto wallet because someone sold your wallet as "4channersperg.txt"

I'd only ever launch nonfree software on Linux desu, steam included. flatpak steam is basically the bare minimum and I'm impressed that Windows still doesn't have a working solution that's similar at this point. Windows supposedly wants to stabilize its syscall layer so they can have their gay container shit like Linux. At this point, I'd argue Windows is basically just ripping off Linux, which is hilarious and ironic.

Also shame on Valve for not removing this garbage if it really is malware.

Based on what? Microsoft Defender is an AV and is baked in.
