PSA: Malware detected from member's upload

[Scar17]

Hi! Thank you so much to everyone who's answering questions and contributing. It's a shame these things happen :(

I have a question, is the list of infected games final? Or is it still possible that more infected games will be found?

I have a question, is the list of infected games final? Or is it still possible that more infected games will be found?

The list is from what the member posted on ASF. For new member to post on ASF, they are subjected to throttling such as 1 thread per hour, all thread is held in the approval queue. Therefore, the member coudn't post many in the span of 1 month.

If you download your game from sources like Tokyo Toshokan or Nyaa Torrents, the same member may have shared more content since they aren't subject to the same throttling.

Unfortunately it's hard to say whether other Uploader/Contributor redownload somewhere else as well.

Add [RJ01524403] to this list, it was also most likely distributed by the well-known jekson5865/hentaigamer**
But I can't vouch for the game uploaded here. It was originally posted on a popular anime tracker similar to nyaa, and this torrent is also indexed by TokyoToshokan. (A hint to the site, because I'm not sure if it's allowed to mention/write names websites)

Why so many worries, just use Free antivirus tools. Many years, use CureIt, from Cd -> Dvd -> Flash.
https://free.drweb.ru/download+cureit+free/
ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/cureit.exe
Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool
https://www.kaspersky.ru/downloads/free-virus-removal-tool?ysclid=mjviudgnex23020704
If, you still worry, just install Full version, any Antivirus, you get 30 days free, for test.

P.S If, you have Virus, (more important Troyan) , they can ease change, file name, regname. If, they already inside.

If you read the article published by Huorong and uploaded the infected files (if you had any, for example), you'd realize that currently only two antivirus programs detect them: Huorong and Rising, and nothing else. I got infected myself, and the first thing I did was, as an experiment, scan my computer for viruses using AV scanners (KVRT, Cureit, Minersearch), and they found nothing. The most CureIT could find was a modified line in REGEDIT, and that was it. As for the miner itself, it wasn't found.

Is it known for how long had this user been sharing infected files?

ASF does not forbid mentioning of other sites, blogs or forums unless spamming.

Is it known for how long had this user been sharing infected files?

First post here is around December 10

By the way, this might sound pretty crazy to some, but one of the games on the list, namely — RJ01524136, was initially infected with a cryptominer (libegl.dll, cacheapp, etc.) and sold with it on DLsite.
How could this have happened? Who knows, most likely the developer was infected too, and the infected files "migrated" to their game. But that's just my theory. On one of the content sharing forums, a user posted a screenshot of this game purchased from them, and it was the game they bought that infected them.

To be fair I did mention there is nothing such 100% safety. Even if one buy it from DLSite, it will be lowest risk but not absolute.

Stay safe, we are stronger together.

I am looking into that possibility at the moment but it is the holiday...

In that case, I find it strange if all ddl hentai game sites are not infected.
I downloaded the same thing from ryuugames and scanned libEGL.dll with virustotal, but Huorong did not detect it as
TrojanDropper/CoinMiner.d.
I cannot say for sure as I have not performed dynamic analysis, but since there is antivm, I cannot scan it without a sub-PC.

My, Kaspersky Premium perfectly find, 3 days ago, when i try run game. Database Update, several times every day, for all Antivirus. Your, Old database, cant find, okay, that normal. Second need Activate, All check, not a light check, in side config, your Antivirus. And, i don`t remember, i write it help imideatly 100%, if you find, when i write it, give me. Or, you think, i need search load and check my self, virus <-> against antivirus.
-
when i check again (Reg) right now, i find only link to C:Users\''YourUsedName''\AppData\Local\Scacheapp
nothing more, no file no other changes, Kaspersky delete body virus, and folder, but automatic (Reg(Windows) create link, in Last used folder, anyway.
-
Windows Reg creat big ammount of garbage, need Clean, and Clean. Every month.

My computer has a "syscacheapp" folder, but the folder is empty and there is no SHELL in the registry, which makes me very confused as to whether I have been infected or not.

If the folder is empty, it's fine. By the way, when was the folder created?

Yesterday I deleted it- -I didn't remember it

Late to know during holidays, seems it just a miner but not crypto your important files, but cannot guarantee next time...I'm away from .exe for a long time(main download doujin voice works).In general security aspect, if malware created too new to detect(like virustotal website), some ways may help for daily:
1,process auditing :lea rn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/manage/component-updates/command-line-process-auditing
2,other handy tools: w ww.nirsoft.net/utils/executed_programs_list.html

If the creation date is before December 10, 2025, it may have been created for a reason other than this issue. If the creation date is after December 10, 2025, the folder may have been created for this issue, but the file may not have been created for some reason (such as being deleted by antivirus software). Just to be sure, try searching for "cacheapp64.exe" on your PC.

Hey everyone, just a quick note regarding the recent CryptoMiner report affecting some uploads on Nyaa / Anime-Sharing. That's seriously worrying, and I'm really sorry this happened to people.

This is exactly why we started the DLsite Archive Project: we verify files by comparing hashes + file size against the official DLsite API. When a release matches the official reference, we can be far more confident it hasn't been tampered with.

Please stay cautious, and we'll keep doing our part to help the community verify what's safe.

There's some problem with that, Uploaders and Contributors usually mix the original files a bit to prevent getting a watermark tracker against their account. Unless every main files are hashed, the archive hash may not tell anything.

I only really play hentai games on Steam, I wonder if my downloaded RPG Maker games are infected. Gaben, please give me strength.

True, if uploaders modify files to avoid watermark tracking, a hash won't work. No system is 100% perfect. But that's also the point: a verified hash DB gives a baseline. Match = strong integrity signal, no match = user knows it's altered and can decide what to do. We're building this as a reference/source of truth as coverage grows, even if the DLsite API is messy.
