n May 2021, a researcher tweeted about a new malware that hides itself inside Steam profile photos. Except for a warning that the length of the ICC profile data is not acceptable, common online EXIF tools don’t provide anything significant about the image. Because the malware is stored in encrypted form inside the PropertyTagICCProfile value instead of an ICC profile. The goal of an ICC profile is to appropriately map colours for output devices like printers.
Valve’s Steam is a video game digital distribution platform. In September 2003, it was released as a separate software client as a mechanism for Valve to give automatic updates for their games, and it was later expanded to include games from third-party publishers. Digital rights management (DRM), server hosting, video streaming, and social networking services are all available through Steam. It also includes community features such as friends lists and groups, cloud storage, and in-game voice and chat functions, as well as game installation and automatic updates.
