RED ALERT, SHIT IS FUCKED, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
>what's happening?
something fuckery is happening with steam. You get logged into random people's account
>why is that bad?
you can see private email, transaction history, payment history
>am I fugged?
no we're all gonna be rich after suing gabe for literally billion of dollars.
Should we stay logged in or not? I'm fucking scared
get back to work jews, we all know you're working today
THEY GOT ME
1st for JUST
>Keeping more than 10 dollars in your steam wallet at a time
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.
>Logged off before this all started
>People saying DON'T LOG OFF NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO
Valve the consequences will never be the same I swear to God.
>don't worry bro nothing will happen
>>321437494
that is not what that word means.
does changing info on a cached account actually do anything?
HAPPENING?
It's over
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>get logged into some guys account, check his details, everything's there
>call his phone

Should i be worried?
>>321437480
STEAL
IGNORE EVERYTHING STEAMDB SAYS. THEY ARE SHILLS WHO ARE GUARANTEEING YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PAYPAL AND CREDIT CARD INFO WITH THEIR RETARDED ADVICE
>no funds in steam valet>have my credit card info saved
I'm slightly panicking right now.
>>321437651
>Linking your card to Steam
You deserve it bro.
>>321437719
>muh steam guard will save me
Meanwhile some russian is getting into your amazon account because enough info was just leaked to make that trivial from a social engineering standpoint
who /notaffected/ here?
YOU DUMB IDIOTS STORING CC INFO
>>321437186
>You get logged into random people's account
This hasn't happened to me.
I either get 404 or loaded into some hungarian or whatever language store page, but logged out.
No, by all means, log in to your steam account
LEGAL INFO
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
today's the day
P.S: This post only applies to Americans.
12/25/2015
The day Steam's refund button saved lives
>dedicated steam email
>no cc stored
>no paypal stored
>steam guard active
who else /dodgedabullet/ here?
It just blows me away that Valve hasn't done fucking anything yet.
>>321437651
>>321437705
Calling bullshit
Unless samefag
Someone please tell me what steps I should take right now. What passwords to I change? I have my debit card saved on steam.
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM VALVE SOFTWARE FUCK YOU
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.
GABE LIED CREDIT CARDS DIED

>>321437852
PERSONAL
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.
I love this kind of karmic fate.
>mfw creating a virtual card every time I want to pay something online that only has as much money as I need and gets deleted at the end of the month

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IofP3RJqAo
>>321437890
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.
>>321437997
INFORMATION
ESTÁ PASANDO
>>321437632
if anything you SHOULD log off. that stupid twitter account isnt even associated with valve, this is more likely a session hijacking issue which means if you are logged in you are vulnerable
>Checking email and bank account every 5 minutes
>Nothing so far
>>321437594
how would they get the password to your email from steam, dummy?
>don't have any personal information on my account
Even if they had my debit information, I have no money on the account anyways.
>>321437186
Is this a meme? Nothing's up with my Steam. All's normal.
>>321438078
Family
>haven't logged into my steam for like 4 days
Should I log in?
Checking my email regularly to make sure no one tries to get in should be enough right? My email and steam acc have different passwords anyway.
>>321437890
I haven't been affected but I'm still kinda sketched

SHIT WTF
Don't go on any steam page, don't log in/out
just stay away form steam.
Only way to avoid getting cached
>>321438094
This is true - every action you take is just pushing yourself to the front of the cache
>>321438017
You mean it's from the people that went to check their own private info?
Good job valve fanboy.

Check your account details. Or stop being a dumbass and do some research to see we're not full of shit.
>>321437651
not like you cant have that instantly reversed or anything.
>>321437992
This is saving christmas for me. I was bored and alone, now I'm entertaining myself by relogging into steam and different accounts and calling random people, scaring them shitless.
This is happening before I enter in a university.
Will I finally have a productive life again?I don't want to be be a normie.
Is this affecting everyone? Or just the ones that are already logged in by the time the breach started?
>>321437186
Wait, I am checking other sources and it seems that you can buy shit if the people have founds on their wallets. But can you hick jack accounts if they don't have added a phone or something?
Also personal information has been leaked, I am not fucking happy.
>>321437539
B-B-BUT WE ARE THE MASTER RACE.
>>321438292
Couldn't this info come a little bit sooner? Fuck's sakes
Guys I have no CC info on my account, don't have the steamguard for the phone but I have it for my Email.
I also saved all my purchase bills.
Is it enough to recover my account if I loose it?
>>321438335
Will you give me money? I'm broke.
>>321438302
>every action you take is just pushing yourself to the front of the cache
Shittiest Police song ever

I've been logged off for twelve hours, no suspicious activity or emails am I in the clear?
Well I guess we're about to find out how bulletproof that "binding arbitration" clause is in Valve's TOS
>have anxiety problems
>live too far from burgerland to be affected
>not as retarded as the average /v/ user when it comes to security
>Can't relax with the possibility of being just on the wrong place at the wrong time and getting caught on the shitstorm

...can I theoretically log onto other's accounts and get their things for myself too?
>>321437532
>>321437540
Yeah I shut off steam and I'm just gonna watch my stuff in the coming days my wallet itself only has like 10 bucks but e-mail and credit card and shit Ill have to watch like a hawk.
>people don't have the mobile authenticator enabled
>>321438319
Same here. I'm scared guys...
Guys, I never use my credit card, only pay with steam cards i buy from the store. Am I /SAFE/?
if I haven't accessed Steam in the last few days, am I fine?
heard it was something to do with cached pages being sent to the wrong users
>>321437186
Can they buy some shit if i have my card saved as an option for paying for something?
>>321438429
Oh. Then we're all good, except for the fact that our private info will now be freely available in the web.
>>321438452
I'll pay you if you put some effort in looking cute.

So has valve SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING at this point?
>>321438473
This is a very good Christmas for an anti Valve like me.
>>321437494
There's always people like you who blame the victims, like we were supposed to have some sort of foresight to this
>Oh, you left $10 on your Steam wallet and Steam has never been hacked before? Your fault
>Oh, you got robbed? Should've not gone outside normie hahaha
>>321438492
HE TRIED TO WARN US
Steam didn't get hacked, but this is going to end up being on of the biggest social engineering type hack ever thanks to the cache fuck up.
>>321437539
>falling for the console meme
(◡‿◡) Friendly reminder that both the PS store and XBOX store got hacked and leaked thousands of card infos!!! (◡‿◡)
(◡‿◡) friendly reminder that you won't have your CC info leaked if you aren't an idiot on PC! (◡‿◡)
(◡‿◡) friendly reminder that you suck MS's dick by paying 60$ for all your games! (◡‿◡)
>>321437186
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.
>>321437594
>Has anybody else called the CC company and blocked their card?
Wait, there seriously are people so fucking stupid that save their buying information on Steam surfing this website?
Holy shit, consider suicide.
>>321438237
>Will we get some epic free games or some shit?
As an apology, they will have a special week where every game is discounted, with new discounted games every day
>>321438492
Some of us aint got smart phones you know? I still use an old flip phone.
>>321438483
No
>>321438492
This does absolutely nothing in this case, if people are session hijacking (effectively by mistake) Steam already thinks they're you
>Move money from your card to another card or another savings account
>Remove card associated with paypal
Wow, it is fucking nothing. Why are any of you worried unless you use your mommy's account?
>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.

Will this be big enough to destroy Valve's monopoly over digital games? I don't know if they can recover their reputation after something like this. Might finally put them out of business.

>>321439092
No. Go to Paypal, change your password and unlink your CC/bank. Wait until things blow over before linking it back, but I suggest you cancel your CC.

you're saying it like it's a bad thing
Valve and Gayben better fucking do something to make up for this huge fuck up. I expect Half Life 3 and a case of beer on my doorstep tomorrow.
>>321438962
>>321439092
100%perhaps ok, can't really find passwords and shit
>>321438492
Mobile authenticator lets you log in to your account via phone verification. But steam messed up by linking you other's people cache info meaning you bypassing the log in protection. It means nothing in this case.
>WHO /PIRATEFAG/ HERE?
>>321439027
Cache fuck up allowing people to see different accounts and their personal information.
This is going to lead to the biggest Social Engineering the world has ever seen
>>321437186
I got some other guy's account details, I deleted his saved card details because fuck that it's Christmas, I'm supposed to be good at least one day of the year. I have the feeling I just fucked things up more though.
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.
also: change email and pws on your steam account once this is done, unless you're comfortable with potentially thousand of people having access to your private info.

Easy.
I haven't logged into Steam for a few days now and I use PayPal to pay for everything
Am I good?
Where were you on the day PC gaming officially died???
>>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.

It has my Paypal on it and a couple dummy Visa gift card numbers I forgot to delete. I haven't bought anything on steam since the fall sale, too so any login info shouldn't be there.
Thank God being paranoid about keeping unique passwords is probably going to keep anyone from touching any of my shit.

Every single one of us is fucked.
FUCKED
>>321439092
Nope. You're fucked.
Your paypal email address is probably the same as your Steam email address right?
Your paypal email is exposed, allowing people to submit password change requests to your paypal.
They have your address and your full name, so if they wanted they could call Paypal and say "Yes i'm ___, i live at ___, my email is ___, and i forgot my password"
P.S: Your steam account was set to automatically charge to Paypal by default without user confirmation (i.e. you don't actually have to login to paypal to make valve payments), so no, you aren't safe unless you deliberately disabled that feature which was on by default in the first place
>>321439252
how the fuck would they get your password? are you aware of a concept called "hashing"?
SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO

did I do good?
>>321439158
Then stay delusional you goddamn fucking retard.
I'd rather give my fucking credit card info than my full name + address. At least my bank can cover my debit but my name would forever be out there.

I don't understand. What can it lead to? Some pervs will subsribe me to gay porn sites and nothing worse, right.
The thing that pisses me off about steam it is that it automatically keeps your paypal/debit card stored in their system. If I could I would just log in and out of paypal and be done with it, but everytime steam saves my data.

even in the worst case scenario this would be a nightmare

Well shit. I left my PC on and steam open and logged in and it's been like that all morning. I'm not home right now to do anything about it.
How fucked am I?
If someone gets access to my account, can you at least send me a happy e-mail that you did nothing to my account?
Should I even be trying to log into steam if I haven't logged in for a week?

No, you aren't. You aren't actually logging in as anyone else, it's just displaying the wrong info. You can't spend money in their wallet or make purchases with saved cards.
The worst that can happen is that some BR sees your private email address and phone number. Big fuckin' deal.

>>321439370
Pro tip: Your full name and address require a lot less effort to get than hacking Steam.
And while social engineering can get you far it's usually either when, in the case of the fappening, they have shit poor passwords or linked passwords, which CURRENTLY is not relevant to this case.
Or someone rings up a company claiming to be a user and you'd need more information than a full name and address.
So keep fear-mongering that they have your full name and address and now you're going to lose your account. Everything is going to be fine.

It's real. I didn't want to show his e-mail or RL name. It's only addressed to me, so seems like he did end up with mine for a short while.
For the record though, I don't have my paypal or CC linked to Steam. So I'm not in any danger regardless.

If you try and do it through Steam you are, through your Paypal account you're not.
Anyone who uses Paypal needs to log into their Paypal account cancel and block payments to Steam, change your Paypal password too.

>>321440915
It's the combination of details which can be an issue. If you have all that data you can send steam an email like this.
Dear Steam,
I've forgotten my password and lost access to my old email. I promise I am the account holder. My phone number is X, the last 4 digits of my card are X, I think the last game I bought was X. Can you reset it for me?
Best Regards,
Anon.
They will reset it for you.
>>321441120
have you ever seen payment info
it's always censored
>>321441120
Except you need a security code every time you make a purchase no?
Its the caching server, so every page you open may be accidentally cached, don't go to your personal info page and other people won't be able to access it. Pretty simple.

Its ok anon after the big PSN issue my info got stolen and was being used by a 40 year old chinese guy who snuck into the country to work at a vineyard.
Apparently he saw a crime and I was the one given the court summons because he was using my name.
Rather funny being dragged by the bailiffs around to court for the judge to say to me, 'You are not a chinese guy with a moustache'.
Thank fucking god/gods/whatever that I never activated my steam gift card that I got today from xmas presents.
Guys, you realize this is essentially the end of Valve right?
For every person whose private credit/debit card details were accessed by an unauthorized person Valve can be sued for up to $100,000.
Hundreds of thousands of people could have been effected by this.
On top of getting sued to fuck, they're going to receive heavy fines.
okay so why are people freaking out about their card info?
let's just pretend they have your full number and not just the last 2 or 4 digits, if they use your money you can just call your bank and report an unauthorized purchase.
>>321439383

>>321441527
>>to prevent it accidentally notice it
Holy tinfoil.
It's a problem with their caching-server (varnish), caching pages that should not be cached (such as Account-Details, Cart, etc.). It invalidates after some time and is re-cached when the next user visits the page with their profile. You are not actually logged in (as in, you take over the session of the user), you just see pages rendered for others than yourself. This is why different parts of steam appear as different users.
They can't actually make purchases or see your CC number.
>>321441278

GET THE FUCK IN THE STICKY ICKY ICKY
People actually bought shit on steam using another persons account not even caring if they fuck over there bank account.
>>321441728
the 1 dollar purchase is to see if the card gets declined.
Steam/Valve is currently in violation of Washington state law.

http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=19.255.010
In short. They have not made any attempts to notfiy us as a whole or individually. Which they are required to do. This is one of those cases that not communicating, is going to land them in hot water.
Who /tripledamages/ here?

What is your point?
You colossal shitheads, others can only see pages you've attempted to view. Don't try to view you're account details, or better yet, don't request any pages from steam, and you'll be safe.
Hell, even viewing the store, the best people can see is your balance and account name.
>>321441874
i have 300 euros right now. nothing happened for now

Yeah, people could buy stuff off steam, but that's about it. They also closed down the stores, and not only that. They can't see the whole credit card number, so they can't use it to buy other stuff. you're fine

>>321442425
I mean its just a 50 dollar gift card so yeah I guess unless they spend the rest of the 48 dollars before you do.
