    5. Impact
       - Credential theft via local file read
       - Credential stuffing attacks on other platforms
       - License key theft for unauthorized activation
    
    6. Steps to Reproduce
       a. Install and run EZ Game Booster v1.0.0
       b. Create an account or log in
       c. Browse to: %LOCALAPPDATA%\ezgamebooster\
          ezgamebooster_Url_fgj2qz5coiw33xftcp3agaqkgxc51bkk\1.0.0.0\
       d. Open user.config with Notepad
       e. Observe plaintext password, email, and licenseKey
    
    7. Remediation
       Encrypt sensitive data using DPAPI before serialization.
       Use Windows Credential Manager for credential storage.
    
    8. Author's Note on Discovery
       "I discovered this while uninstalling the software and checking for
       leftover files. I was not performing any targeted security research
       at the time β€” I simply found my credentials in plaintext by accident."
