A Reddit user found a weird program called test.exe attached to a mod for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The program apparently steals your Chrome passwords, and sends them off to the mod creator.

Watch today’s video to learn more about this incident, and what I think about this potentially illegal password stealing “DRM.”
