Steam HACKED?!

beganoo · 2011-11-10 02:45:17

Look what I got (as steam commercial).Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users:Our Steam forums were defaced on the evening of Sunday, November 6. We began investigating and found that the intrusion goes beyond the Steam forums.We learned that intruders obtained access to a Steam database in addition to the forums. This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still investigating.We don't have evidence of credit card misuse at this time. Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely.While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised, all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other accounts you should change those passwords as well.We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn't be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password.We will reopen the forums as soon as we can.I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience.Gabe.

Geez, I have learned one thing today. Sony will always get the ****** end up the stick.
Steam gets hacked, Xbox Live goes down... it's all good.
Xbox 360's RROD like crazy, players can't even play their games for a month... it's all good.\
Sony gets hacked so they shut off PSN to completely rebuild everything (but can still play their games, just not online) ... HAHA SONY SUCKS!
Uncharted 3 sells 3.8 million copies on day one... FALSE.... CAN'T BE REALZ.
I swear System Wars has a severe hatred for Sony and the Playstation brand and games.
