Browser hack Steam accounts. Browser attacks in the browser. | Fever / Internet

Laptops are reporting that more and more Steam accounts are being hacked in so-called in-browser browser attacks. This is a type of phishing that tries to trick Steam users into entering their account details via fake browsers.

These fake browser windows are difficult to distinguish from normal windows, which makes it very difficult to tell that you are being scammed. One can detect the fake window, among other things, by minimizing it to see if it will end up in the taskbar.

Group-IB also shared the following methods for detecting Browser-in-the-Browser attacks:
* Check if a new window opens in the taskbar, assuming you are ungrouping programs in the Windows 10 taskbar. If there is no new taskbar window, this is not a real window. Unfortunately, Windows 11 does not support ungrouping at this time.
* Try resizing the window. If you are unable to, it is most likely a fake browser window.
* Fake BiTB browser windows will be closed if you minimize them.

This is obviously annoying and one can assume that browsers will try to warn users about this in future versions.
