Impersonation and Malware Distribution via Cloned Game Page

I downloaded a game titled They Are Not Real from https://buggataa.itch.io/they-are-not-real. Windows Defender flagged the executable as Program:Win32/Cayunamer.A!ml, a high-severity Trojan. After I did a deep scan

Upon investigation, I realized this page is not the original. The legitimate developer is buggata, whose real page is:

https://buggata.itch.io/they-are-not-real

The impersonator uses a nearly identical name (buggataa) and game title, likely to trick users into downloading a compromised version. The download file even had a (1) suffix, indicating it’s a duplicate or repackaged copy.

Thanks for telling me!
