The FBI’s Seattle Division is investigating a campaign in which eight Steam games (BlockBlasters, Chemia, Dashverse/DashFPS, Lampy, Lunara, PirateFi, and Tokenova) distributed between May 2024 and January 2026 were found to contain malware linked to cryptocurrency theft and account hijacking; the FBI is requesting victims to report incidents to aid investigation, potential restitution, and victim services, while Steam advised users to check for malicious files, run antivirus scans, and consider reinstalling affected systems.
