“Hackers have distributed malware through Steam Workshop items intended for the Wallpaper Engine app on Steam.”
The evidence shows that attackers did use Steam Workshop items for Wallpaper Engine to distribute malware. Security researchers documented malicious “application wallpapers” carrying credential-stealing and remote-access payloads, and Wallpaper Engine’s developers later confirmed the abuse and tightened restrictions. The important caveat is that this was not every wallpaper type, but a specific executable-capable category.
“In Greece, a person can be sentenced to six months in prison for cheating in online games on Steam, PlayStation Network, or Xbox Network.”
The claim is not supported by Greek law. The cited Greek statute is about prohibited gaming machines and gambling-related regulation in public places, not cheating in online games on Steam, PlayStation Network, or Xbox Network. No authoritative Greek legal source provided here shows a specific six-month prison sentence for ordinary online game cheating on those platforms.
