Depends what you play it through TBH. If a program has access to your memory, then yes. Naturally it’s a nuanced answer and unless you are a security expert that knows exactly how memory is allocated and how elevated privileges work, not to mention all the little bugs, etc. in your system, then the answer is yes. You aren’t really safe from anything that hits your hard drive.
