You facetious fools
>>321437425
Just don't do anything right now. If you're worried, log off and don't touch it until tomorrow at the earliest.
Check your email, paypal, etc. Make sure nothing changes.
Post YFW you didn't fall for the PC meme
>>321437425
Stay logged off, just don't touch steam until they fix the caching issue
>tfw keep checking paypal to see if someone tried anything
am i good?
Logged into my account right now but can't access anything
deleting my credit card and changing my info around when i can access things
i have steamguard
Has anybody else called the CC company and blocked their card?
So far I did that, and changed the password on my actual e-mail. I haven't gotten anything strange yet.
SUE FOR BIRRION DORRARS
Never leaving my debit card info online again. Fuck this. Fuck you gabe. You ruined steam sales and now your company has fucked millions of people. Valve is such a piece of shit company.

You are entitled to TRIPLE DAMAGES.
See pic related.
This guy got robbed of $2,100. Not only will Steam have to refund him $2,100. They will have to pay him $4,200 extra for the trouble.
So yes, by all means, login to your steam account with credit card info available
get that money

Gabe Newell here.
We are aware of the issues. We are working as hard as we can to fix it. Please stay tuned for updates - for now, do not try to change your sensitive information, that would only make your information more vulnerable right now. Just stay with us while we try our best to fix this, thank you.
When this is over we will grant every Steam user a 10% coupon for any Valve title as an apology.

It's a caching issue.
Virtually any of the private info you see right now is from people that just went into their account to see the private info of someone else.

Storing credit card info is somewhat immaterial if the cache thing is true. If you made a purchase period in X amount of time (X because I don't know how long things live in Steam's cache) you are very much at risk.

Steam is going to be the subject of a mass action lawsuit over this without a fucking doubt.
The only problem is, Steam might shut down because of it. So if we sue them, we could lose all our games and Steam might forever die.

>tfw you never save your payment info
Who else knows this feel?
From what I can tell their caching servers are fucked somehow, could be a bizarre malfunction, inside logic bomb or an external exploit. Anything you do within steam seems liable to be cached and potentially served as a cached response to someone else in the world. If you just stay the fuck away from Steam for now then anything that was in the cache should naturally expire and you won't be adding new entries.
I work in the industry, doesn't mean I'm not completely wrong but that's my take on it.

yo bros call your banks and just close down your credit card/issue a new one. it takes like a week, but the old one will not work any longer. better safe than sorry.

>>321439158
He's not wrong. The fappening was simply due to social engineering. No "hacking" required
>>321437186
So I'm hearing it's likely some kind of caching issue; that pages are being stored somewhere and then sent out to wrong person. Since I haven't logged into Steam for like a month I should be fine, right?
... Although it's funny because the best way to check my accounts security would be to log into it, which would then definitely send it to the fucked up caching system thus compromising it. Fucking Schrondingers all up in my shit.
