🎮This Week in Gaming
Steam is being used to spread malware.
The biggest distributor of pc games is currently dealing with another big problem, besides the restrictions that payment processors have being trying to force on it.
Recently, a game named Block Blasters was used to spread malware and infected over nine hundred people. However, one of the victims was a person that was raising money for cancer treatment.
Thankfully, this story had a happy ending, but this isn't the only game that was published on Steam for nefarious reasons.
