What should I do if I suspect a game on Itch of being a crypto miner?

I recently downloaded a game from Itch that uses half of my CPU and maxes out my GPU on the title screen, despite only showing very simplistic graphics. It is because of this that I suspect it of using my machine to mine cryptocurrency, or use the hardware for another nefarious purpose. I assume this kind of software may not be offered over Itch, so where should I go to have this looked into?

Please report any suspicious game, thanks. There's a link at the bottom of each project page.

Thank you. Should I select 'other' as the report reason, or would a different category be more appropriate?

Select "other" and then describe the problem as exactly as you can.
