Malware Analysis Upcoming Steam game abused by hackers to spread stealer malware

[Kongo]

Some days ago I stumbled upon a malicious sample on AnyRun. It impersonates a legit upcoming game on steam by a new unpopular game developer but it is actually malware. Sadly the website where the malicious file could be downloaded has been taken down a while ago. Wether the sample itself is still working has to be seen. It is only detected by 2 engines on VirusTotal at the moment.
