Odaily Planet Daily News: U.S. federal investigators have accused that 8 downloadable games embedded with malware infected approximately 8,000 devices. The attackers used this to access around 80 cryptocurrency wallets and transferred at least $220,000 in digital assets. The FBI is continuing its investigation and seeking potential victims.
According to the criminal indictment, the operation lasted from May 2024 to February 2026. Zyaire Dontaevious Zamarion Wilkins, a 21-year-old resident of North Lauderdale, Florida, is accused of funding the malware operation and assisting in promoting related activities.
Court documents reveal that the software collected passwords, wallet credentials, browser data, and other sensitive information after users installed the games.

Wilkins is currently facing a charge of conspiracy to obtain computer information for private financial gain, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
