This week, a streamer attempting to raise money for their own cancer treatment instead lost $32,000 to malware added to a new Steam game after release.
The Steam game, BlockBlasters, has now been yanked from sale, and the malware distributors reportedly identified and confronted by free-roaming cybersecurity nerds.
As reported by cybersecurity site G Data, BlockBlasters appears to have been updated with malware after launch.
Another streamer has reported losing $15,000 to the BlockBlasters malware.
Other than removing the game from Steam, Valve have yet to acknowledge or comment on the BlockBlasters story.
