Just before the weekend, Reddit user /u/walkday reported finding something unusual in his A320X module, the same module that caused the earlier controversy. But now the company is at the center of a new storm, again centered around anti-piracy measures and again focused on Reddit. It was an incredible story that no doubt did damage to FlightSimLabs’ reputation. After first dodging the issue with carefully worded statements, FlightSimLabs admitted that it had installed a password dumper onto ALL users’ machines – whether they were pirates or not – in an effort to catch a particular software cracker and launch legal action. A file – test.exe – was being flagged up as a ‘Chrome Password Dump’ tool, something which rang alarm bells among flight sim fans.Īs additional information was made available, the story became even more sensational. The story began when a Reddit user reported something unusual in his download of FlightSimLabs’ A320X module. Earlier this year, in an effort to deal with piracy of their products, flight simulator company FlightSimLabs took drastic action by installing malware on customers’ machines.
