Several prominent gaming and e-sports YouTube channels, including the official DOTA 2 channel, were compromised to promote a fraudulent meme coin. The cyberattack also targeted third-party fan channels and major outlets such as PGL, ESL, and Esports World Cup. This incident underscores the increasing threat of cryptocurrency scams within the gaming sector, as some of the malicious videos remained accessible for hours before being taken down.
This breach follows a recent security issue involving a malware game on Steam, which resulted in $150,000 in thefts. Despite the severity of these incidents, Valve has yet to release a public statement addressing the situation.
