last 4 digits of a credit card is enough to hack plenty of accounts.

>>321446023
Not defending that tard but actually A home address and 4 digit credit card is exactly all I need to get in. you see with the email address given I now know where you store the real private stuff. So I take that info and contact gmail/yahoo/charter.net like mr. legoman5000.
Then with that info I can easily trick any min waged employee into giving me the true password and then with that I can look into your true email. PLUS I have your address which means I can find your zip code and other important things that you may happen to use as a possible password or what not to get into other things. You see all it really takes is an email,4 digit card to trick the bank and home address.
Have a nice day legoman 5000

No, I agree with you, it's just a cache problem and all the proofs are fake, literally ALL OF THEM, and they had to shut down the store because nobody can buy anything on it because of the cache problem only, sure. Also don't go to steam sites while logged in!!!!!!!!! But nothing will happen ;)

Yeah, this place is fucked. Anyone who says /v/ was never good is obviously a newfag. It was never good, but it was never this bad before.

Everyone who gives a shit, please requisition hiroshima to enforce a 2 minute or greater post timer on /v/.

Burden of proof is on you to find examples of this from 2014 onwards.
Finding a post from 2009 about how you could do this is not sufficient because security against this type of shit increases greatly every year.

There's truth to this, though.

The last 4 digits are the ones that matters - when ever your debit card is renewed, these are all that changed. The first 12 are tied to your account and remain the same from when it is opened.

>>321448419
Yeah but is it visible on your Steam account anywhere? Because the issue here is regarding the server cache redirecting users who log in into other people's accounts. Whatever is visible from the front-end of a logged in account, is what can get stolen, nothing else.
>>
>>321455239
"it's a cache problem and other than last 4 credit numbers etc.... nothing bad happened"

Steam and store are back and so is this whole thing no matter what actually happened.

No. That's just blatantly wrong. You were literally just seeing a wrongly cache'd page. Nobody was actually logged into anyone else's account, trying to do anything like editing the account just resulted in an error page because you weren't logged in. Hell, when I checked it, I was seeing some Cheney45 dude's account info, but when I clicked on the transaction history I was looking at blue_____'s transactions.

My issue is the fact that its impossible for customers to quickly contact valve customer support in the event of an emergency. It will take hours to get a reply at the very least, days on average, weeks or even months at most. Sometimes never.

This is completely unacceptable for a company with billions of dollars, and a userbase of over 20 million people.
