FBI Investigates Malware-Infected Games on Steam

The FBI is investigating multiple video games published on the Steam platform over the last two years that were embedded with malware. The agency believes the same hacker is responsible for hiding the malicious code within these games. The malware in question is classified as an infostealer, designed to extract sensitive data from infected systems. The investigation involves collaboration with Valve, the company behind Steam, though no specific games, technical details, or exact dates were disclosed. The impact includes potential unauthorized access to user data through compromised gaming software.
