Well, THAT'S a problem...

[Nighthawk]

Yeah, Steam is totally freaking out right now. I'm half amused and half annoyed, since I can't access my account properly.

[forsaken1111]

Yeah, the steam store is so fucked right now. Don't even attempt to use it.

[Jiharo]

And now I regret that I changed my steam e-mail to the sort of businessy one that contains my surname.

The situation with Steam now appears to have been resolved, and Steam should be fully back up.

Steam community mod post on the issue.

Confirmation that it wasn't a hack and card numbers and phone numbers were not exposed.

However our names and emails were totally exposed. Anyone wanting to harvest emails and caught wind of that, would have gained much during that period.

Except it's easier (and costs peanuts) to pay someone else for millions of addresses that may or may not be active.

Exactly. They harvest the emails and sell them to someone else.

Could you view the pages of multiple users or just one?

[Flying Dice]

It was entirely random, and depended on how often you loaded the pages. Most people only saw one other, and the servers were taken down inside of an hour or two. So even if someone decided to exploit the opportunity to harvest information, they'd get maybe a dozen or two email addresses.

Hey lets not let facts get in the way of our panic now

IKR?
All the people on that thread... Ugh.

[Flying Dice]

In an attempt to rerail the thread, Killing Floor 2 Steam code is on Amazon for ~$20 right now.

[BigD145]

There's an actual thread for the Steam hiccup.
