Okay, so I don't know what happened to Steam, but this is a major issue right now, potentially putting 125 million accounts at risk.
When you log in from the Steam client, you will find that the home page language may be changed, or your personalized wishlists or purchase lists are not being displayed. If you attempt to click on 'Account Information' in the client, you are taken to an account information page for some other account. You get shown sensitive information, such as their purchase history, payment method, Steam wallet balance (which you get access to), and more. Steam Guard accounts are not safe from this glitch.
Guys, this is not good.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
I actually can't access my Steam account at all right now- my credit card is on there, how do I get it removed from there?
Plus I'm worried someone will go through my history and remove games from my library...
Steamstat guys recommend logging the **** out and not touching Steam until the problem is sorted.
Logging out from just the client, or the webstore and mobile app too?
Everything.

Log out of Steam on all devices, wait it out, and hope your account doesn't get exploited.
UPDATE
Valve has taken Steam offline for now. Let's hope the damage is contained.
UPDATE 2
You just search for Steam account page, and then click on Cached.
It's pretty serious now.
So... erm, damn it, I really hope no one has access to my account.
Update 3: Valve has issued a statement regarding today's issues.
"Steam is back up and running without any known issues," a Valve spokesperson told GameSpot. "As a result of a configuration change earlier today, a caching issue allowed some users to randomly see pages generated for other users for a period of less than an hour. This issue has since been resolved. We believe no unauthorized actions were allowed on accounts beyond the viewing of cached page information and no additional action is required by users."
