No proper report feature inside of a game download page, this needs to be reported and taken down.

A large community of people are being targeted for phishing in Discord, they're using this link to trick people with compromised accounts in order to steal more accounts.  Please add a report feature in the download link page, and take this download down, as it's still being used to steal discord accounts.

...There's a report link at the bottom of each and every game page.

But direct links to a game, even if taken down, still seems to work.

That sounds more like a bug. You should probably talk to support.

I'll make a report to support@itch.io, aint making any promises on their behalf though.

Thanks for the report. This appears to be a bug on our end. The account in question has been suspended for quite some time but this particular download URL from them is still active, so they are presumably still trying to share it. We’ll get this patched ASAP.

Glad to see a reply from an admin!  This is a serious issue with the program having stolen many discord accounts and even comprimised other things like payment information and email accounts.  I don't know all of the details to how it works or the info that could have been stolen, but it would mean a great deal to be able to get this person caught for the things they've done.  My friend that was effected by the program has lost access to their business email, been charged hundreds of dollars to their bank account, and of course the original issue of losing access to her discord.

The malware is still up, and even updated as of 4 days ago, this should really be removed by now /:
