Overview
- The FBI says users were primarily targeted between May 2024 and January 2026 and names BlockBlasters, Chemia, Dashverse/DashFPS, Lampy, Lunara, PirateFi, and Tokenova as implicated games.
- Affected players or guardians are asked to submit a short form or email Steam_Malware@fbi.gov to report incidents tied to these titles.
- The questionnaire seeks details on compromised accounts, crypto transactions, lost funds, and any communications promoting the games, with victim identities kept confidential and potential eligibility for services or restitution.
- Researchers link the campaign to information-stealing and crypto-draining malware delivered through game listings and later updates, resulting in account hijacking and wallet theft.
- Valve has removed identified games and advised users to scan for malicious files and remediate systems, while reports include a BlockBlasters case where a streamer lost about $32,000 after an injected update file.
