<fyi>the discussion link at the bottom of the article is busted </fyi>

Yikes! I'm glad I havent bought anything through Steam!

 

That's pretty crap :/

 

I would not only keep an eye on steam accounts, but on credit card spending too. Check your bills

 

Uh oh, i wish i was in the same boat as you pendragon...

This better get resolved quickly.

 

Fixed

 

I think it was Tad or Nexxo that said they only use paypal with places they don't trust.

That's why I only bought one thing via steam and even that stuffed up!

 

i cant believe that this has happened, i think the sh*t has hit the fan!!!!

i hope valve dont give in with the **** of a hacker, because he can just realse the info he has already.

i am so happy that i purchase over the counter, and dont own a cerdit card!

 

i was reading the comments on the dailytech's report and some of the posters say this dude's profile is a 22 y/o russian... somehow I'm not sure he'll get caught :-/

 

Russian, eh? Maybe this "something good" he's looking for is just a bottle of Vodka. God damn Russians, lol.

 

Right, time to call the card company and get my card replaced then.

 

Lol i dated a russian and her father always had atleast 5 bottles and a handle of vodka around.

That sucks but i wonder how to get these cafe certificates?! lol....

 

Same here, I had thought of it but...

That's a great plan, if I had a paypal account, and if they don't get hacked.

I'm guessing he gets caught - then hired *#%&@!

 

well, when steam can't even get 'friends' or 'favorites' to work properly, what did you honestly expect.

 

LOL, One of the funniest things I have heard today.

 

@ jakenbake
Friends works flawlessly for me, as well as Favorites.
They have been revamped recently.

I hope the CC info only is for cyber cafes, because I think Steam only knows the last 4 digits of credit cards numbers: if I want to buy a new game I have to retype the number.
I used my FATHER's credit card, telling him it was secure, and now this happens... bugger.

 

i'm glad i haven't bought games off steam. ati vouchers ***!
i got mine when they were still around before hl2 came out.

 

Im so screwed, i have every game on there pretty much.. (bit of a steam addict )...bollox, what should i do to protect myself??

Oh bugger, bought a couple of things off there, well not me personally, but my dad and my gf's mum when you were forced to pay by credit card.

 

He definitely hacked the webserver and an internal fileserver, but as of yet there's absolutely no proof that he really has financial records.

I wouldn't get too worried yet.
