Steam's platform security faces scrutiny after a fraudulent game containing cryptocurrency-stealing malware evaded detection for over a month. The malicious software, disguised as a legitimate title called Block Blasters, siphoned digital assets from users' wallets while running undetected in the background.
Investigations reveal at least $150,000 in losses, with the actual figure potentially higher. The scheme came to light after cryptocurrency investigator ZachXBT exposed the operation, prompting Steam's swift removal of the compromised game. The case highlights growing security challenges in digital distribution platforms as crypto-targeted attacks become more sophisticated.
