    BTW, I forget about this article, some crypto trader posted on Reddit how he lost $25.000 via some infostealer which was installed when he downloaded some game, and apparantly Win Defender was bypassed.

    Of course WD fanboys will say it's clickbait, but when I look at the thread on Reddit, I don't think this was all staged just to make WD look bad LOL.

    Apparantly, SafetyDetectives tested the malware (not sure how trustworthy this test is) but they claimed that WD failed, while Bitdefender and Malwarebytes were able to protect against this infostealer.

    Of course as you know, tools like HitmanPro.Alert, OSArmor and TinyWall all offer protection against infostealers, so who knows, perhaps they could have helped preventing this attack.
