The FBI Seattle Division issued a mid-March 2026 victim-outreach notice asking gamers who downloaded malware from Steam to help identify affected victims in an active investigation. The notice matters because it ties a public-sector cybercrime response to a campaign that allegedly targeted users between May 2024 and January 2026. It also names multiple games linked to the effort, including BlockBlasters, Chemia, Dashverse/DashFPS, Lampy, Lunara, PirateFi, and Tokenova.
