- FBI warns about malware hidden in 7 Steam games: BlockBlasters, Chemia, Dashverse/DashFPS, Lampy, Lunara, PirateFi, and Tokenova.
- These games were available on Steam between May 2024 and January 2026, with PirateFi potentially having the largest user base.
- PirateFi, a free-to-play web3 title, may have infected over 7,000 players, as suggested by a Telegram post.
- BlockBlasters scammed a Twitch streamer out of thousands in cancer treatment donations, stealing over $150,000 from 261 Steam accounts.
- Steam sent warnings to users who downloaded affected games, and the FBI is offering restitution and support services to victims.
- Affected individuals are encouraged to contact the FBI at [email protected] and to be cautious of unsolicited game keys or job offers involving cryptocurrency.
