Gabe Speaks About Hacked Steam Forums; Personal Information Hacked Too
Posted on November 10, 2011
We just received an e-mail Valve discussing the recent Steam Forum hacking.  It appears personal information was compromised as well.

Here the unedited e-mail in its entirety:

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.

We will keep you updated as we learn more from Valve.

whats with the cd-key lookalike though 

I'm somewhat interested but last christmas it went down to about USD4. I think i'll wait for christmas. 1 month more is nothing much

wow is brink the only game from 2011 that is up for 75% off and cost 5 USD for base game only ?

damn man...

anybody doing terraria 4 pack ? or wants to be part of a 4 pack deal ?

ya, post as "Hall of Richfag"
then update once a year 

75%- is the most any game titles that are not indie will reach I think. Unless it drop its base price from 30bux to 20.

The obvious answer is yes. Really.

You're not a Steam user until you start buying lots games you'll never play, especially during sales.
