Steam Hacked

Post by Mischief Maker »

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.
Good thing I took a pass on Jamestown.
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

That article headline misinforms a bit. Only password from the forum were lifted. If you used the same password for both the forum and the actual steam account, you should change your shit.

Gabe coulda explained that a little better tho.

Meh I doubt anything will come of it, probably just some script kiddies with too much time on their hands

Well, that explains why the Steam forums asked me to change my password. I was like, "WTF, this has never happened before."
