WARNING steam mass hijack!
« on: February 16, 2010, 10:28:41 pm »

If someone on your friends list gives you a link DO NOT Click it!

It will send you to a page that looks like steam community, if you got this far DO NOT enter your username and password!

I just got suckered into it and now I think everyone on my friends list did as well.

I got a random one that said my steam credentials or whatever needed to be reverified or whatever, but I didn't click on anything to get there, so I'm assuming thats fine.

I got this too, something about my steam thing being timed out. It was in one of the steam windows though, not a firefox window or anything.

it already had my username typed it... Hmmm... I'm worried still. I've got over 60 games on that account...

EDIT: Yeah, just to be safe I changed my password.

Just changed my pass. Even though i didn't get the link, still, ye know.

EDIT: Just exited, the only game i'm really playing currently is Light of Altair and STALKER:Call of Pripyat. Even then, i'm going to login on offline mode when i get in to play one of those, i'm going to wait for this hack to blow over.

It's not a hack, and you need to follow the link anyways to give your account and password, you don't need to overreact like this. You'll be perfectly fine being and playing any games on steam, just as long as you don't blindly click peoples links.

Did you get the link and put in your details? If you did, make sure to like everyone said QUICKLY CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD. If you didn't then you are safe.

Things like that have been going on as long as I can remember. Go to Steam support and get a ticket or whatever it is. You might still be fucked over though, I've heard both good stories and bad ones about the process. Might take a while though, since they only have so many employees to handle those sorts of things.
