A gamer seeking financial support for cancer treatment lost $32,000 after downloading from Steam a verified game named Block Blasters that drained his cryptocurrency wallet.
It’s mentioned twice by the article. And the term is probably used because that how the gamer addressed it in their post. I can only speculate, I didn’t write the article.
In any case, it’s a huge fuck up by Valve and not for the first time.
Agreed! I’m kind of surprised they don’t automatically scan updates for malware. Or maybe they do but this slipped under the radar somehow? Either way the system clearly isn’t working.
I would expect they do, you can never expect anything to be flawless where cyber security is concerned unfortunately.
