Where previous attempts like PirateFi got as far as stealing Steam accounts, a new malware has stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars.
After being prompted to download a Steam game named BlockBlasters from his chat, he lost $32,000.
It turns out, on August 30, that the Steam game had been injected with malware, and upwards of $100,000 was reported stolen by streamers, creators, and crypto owners.
It managed to steal people's Steam accounts and even spent money from users' Steam wallets, though it didn't appear to get access to more than that.
We have reached out to Valve for comment on what more can be done to protect users from malware on Steam.
