🎮 The FBI is looking for victimized Steam users who downloaded games with hidden malware

The FBI is investigating a hacker suspected of publishing several video games laced with malware on the popular PC games store Steam. The FBI believes the threat actor primarily targeted users between the timeframe of May 2024 and January 2026.

The FBI listed the following games suspected of being developed by the same cybercriminal: BlockBlasters, Chemia, Dashverse/DashFPS, Lampy, Lunara, PirateFi и Tokenova. Multiple malicious games discovered on Steam over the past two years have distributed information-stealing malware designed to harvest credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, and other sensitive data from players' devices.

One of the most notable cases involved BlockBlasters - initially uploaded to Steam as a clean program, cryptodrainer malware was later added to the game. After downloading the game, streamer Raivo Plavnieks (RastalandTV) reported losing more than $32,000 from his cryptocurrency wallet. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT later estimated that attackers stole roughly $150,000 from 261 Steam accounts.
