Also got into the news at TechCrunch: https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/hackers-planted-a-steam-ga...

- PirateFi was designed to distribute Vidar [info-stealer] payload

- PirateFi was built with minimal effort from a template-based game-making app Easy Survival RPG to get a playable game which got positive reviews on Steam.

- SECUINFRA researcher Genheimer believes that the web3/blockchain/cryptocurrency references in the PirateFi name were intentional, to lure a specific player base. See articles for what specifics Vidar steals. Quite a lot, apparently.
