This apparently isn’t the first time that Super Mario 3: Mario Forever has helped scammers infiltrate players’ PCs.
Super Mario 3: Mario Forever is not an official Nintendo game, of course, but its long-running legacy as a prominent fan game and the enduring popularity of the Mario franchise-particularly with this year’s animated film adaptation-means that people may still be downloading and installing it nearly 20 years after its original freeware release. It can snag users’ passwords, private information, webcam images, and even crypto wallet information, Cyble writes, adding that the app targets Ethereum, Zcash, and Bytecoin wallets, among others, and specifically Atomic Wallet. Monero is a notable “privacy coin” that hides transaction details from the public.įurthermore, the game installs a file that ultimately leads to the download and installation of Umbral Stealer, which Cyble describes as a “lightweight and efficient information stealer." Doing so eats up a user’s computing resource for the benefit of a malicious actor who is earning crypto in the process. #Mario #Crypto #SupremeBot #UmbralStealer #Trojan #Darkweb #ThreatIntelĬyble’s report notes that the game’s installer also installed XMR Miner, software that quietly runs a Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency miner in the background. Cyble analyzes SupremeBot, a crypto-mining client leveraging a trojanized Super Mario game installer to spread Umbral stealer malware.
