Developer Flight Sim Labs is in hot water after acknowledging that it has installed malware in its flight simulator product that it said targets pirate users of its software. A Reddit user found a test.exe update file included on the add-on s installer that acted as a command-line tool. The tool turned out to be from a company SecurityXploded and is called Chrome Password Dump. The company said allegations that the software has indiscriminately dumped passwords are untrue, and that the malware only targets specific pirate copies.
