EncryptHub strikes again, sneaking trojanized game onto Steam as a early-access title.

Threat actor group EncryptHub has been implicated in a malware campaign that leveraged the popular gaming platform Steam to distribute info-stealing malware to unsuspecting users. Steam says EncryptHub was able to infiltrate Steam's ecosystem by uploading a trojanized game, masquerading as a legitimate early-access title. This malicious game served as a delivery mechanism for stealer malware, targeting high-value data such as browser cookies and session tokens, saved passwords and authentication credentials, and cryptocurrency wallets and sensitive system files.

XSS cybercrime forum rises from the dead – just one day after being raided by Europol. Ahem… honeypot.

On July 22, 2025, the XXX.is forum, one of the largest and longest-standing Russian-speaking cybercrime marketplaces, was taken offline after a coordinated, multi-year investigation involving Ukrainian authorities, French police, and Europol. The forum’s main domain was seized and replaced with a law enforcement notice. However, today, the XSS forum re-emerged within 24 hours on its mirror sites and .onion domains on the dark web. A statement posted by an administrator account claimed the forum’s infrastructure remained intact and reassured users that restoration efforts were underway. Security researchers say, not so fast. Is this a real-life resurrection or a law enforcement honeypot?
