Florida Student Behind Steam Malware Scam | Tech News

A Florida student, just 21, got caught by the FBI for running a two-year malware scam on Steam, pushing fake games like BlockBlasters and PirateFi that stole passwords, data, and crypto—hitting 8,000 victims and draining $220K. He marketed the games on Discord and Telegram, disguising them as legit, while the FBI tracked crypto payments to gift cards, leading to his arrest. Valve’s also been removing the tainted titles. A chilling warning: be wary of what you download—even if it looks like fun. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
