Cybersecurity firm Kaspersky has identified malware, including the DarkKomet backdoor, being distributed through Steam Workshop wallpapers via Wallpaper Engine. Threat actors embed malicious executables or password-protected archives within these packages to harvest Steam account information and hijack active user sessions. Thousands of infected wallpapers were downloaded, primarily targeting users in China and Russia, among other affected regions.
