Title: Please Change Your Steam Password
Post by: pokeplayer984 on November 14, 2011, 04:12:04 PM
Uh yeah, there's been a little hack at Steam and it's worse then expected.

It is suggested by the staff that you change your Steam password (and anywhere else you have the same password) ASAP.  After all, don't want those hackers getting into your bank account, now do you?

I've already gone and changed mine so I'm good.

Just a head's up on all that and I'll see ya later! :)

I've changed mine already but thanx for the heads up all the same pokeplayer. At least Steam were up front about the whole fiasco and have admitted the hacking has caused some issues. Looks like Steam is also running an update and rekindling security protocols. Might be worth getting that done ASAP gamers!

The message does state that the attack seems largely focused on forums, so those who have just Steam but aren't part of the forum are probably safe, if I'm understanding this right.
