Gaming mouse maker hosted malware on its download page for weeks

The article discusses a security issue with Endgame Gear, a gaming mouse manufacturer, where its official software download contained a remote access trojan. According to Reddit users, the Endgame Gear website was compromised, and the malware-infected software was available for download for several weeks before being replaced with a clean version. The article highlights that Endgame Gear has been relatively quiet about the incident, with only a vague statement on a Discord server, and no public-facing messages on their website or the Reddit thread where the issue was first discovered. This has angered Endgame customers, who believe the company may be in violation of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by not fully disclosing the extent of the breach and any potential data compromise. The article emphasizes the importance of software security, especially for gaming accessories that require extensive customization, and the need for transparency from manufacturers when such security breaches occur.
