FBI Investigating After Malware Found Lurking in Steam PC Games
The FBI is investigating malware distributed through several PC games on Steam, targeting users between May 2024 and January 2026. Games under investigation include BlockBlasters, Chemia, Dashverse, DashFPS, Lampy, Lunara, PirateFi, and Tokenova. Some, such as Chemia and PirateFi, have already been removed from Steam after malware was discovered. Steam is one of the world’s largest gaming platforms, with over 132 million monthly active users in 2025. The infected titles appeared legitimate but instead installed malware on players’ computers. The FBI is seeking information from users who may have been affected, offering certain services and confidentiality for victims. Recent years have seen a rise in malware targeting gamers, often hidden in game downloads, cheat software, or third-party mods, with notable incidents linked to titles like Super Mario fan games, Call of Duty cheats, and Roblox mods. The full extent of the impact remains unclear, but prior attacks have affected millions of accounts. Valve has not commented on the ongoing investigation.
