[iosefe]

cart goes to soeone with CSGO in it. lols

but when i hit account, it's a person with 20 in the wallet,

 

[ramoisdead]

Must be some new ARG.

Is this Frog Fractions 2?

I removed Lords of the Fallen from someones shopping cart. I did my part.

I added Bad Rats to someone's cart. I did my part as well.

 

[Trail Guide]

So my steam was Russian and now it's Greek. Must be some new ARG.

Half Life 3 is finally here!

 

[Gren]

You can see the owners steam real username, email address, country, last 2 digit from the credit card and the phone number, wow.

Yup, even in the Steam client, I can see other people's account info.

I have two-factor authentication protecting my account, but I can only assume the email address associated with it is now out in the wild.

 

[NeoRaider]

What is happening ??

Edit: My steam is on German, what??

 

[The Elite]

Umm. WTF is going on. Why do I have someone else's wishlist?

 

[Nothus]

Sounds like a case for Gingerbread Jake.

 

[DeaviL]

Don't worry to much, doubt anyone can do anything dramatic.
It switches around with every click, and actually going to setting seems impossible.

Quite the inconvenience though, will be removing my CC.
Luckily it's prepaid.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Wonder how long it will take for Valve to fix this and what the ramifications will be. It's worrying, honestly.

 

[Hektor]

So much panicking, meanwhile I just sit here and wait. Too lazy to change all my stuff without even knowing if it'll matter.

You can never be careful enough, but it's your account after all, just don't cry when someone did something to it then.

 

[fantomena]

It's like I have the Steam website up here, the log-in button is there.

 

[Dio Brando]

I removed Lords of the Fallen from someones shopping cart. I did my part.

Doing god's work. thank you.

 

[R0ckman]

Yo I'm glad I don't have any payment information saved.

It's funny, I had an inkling something like this would happen so I never stored anything on the account.

 

[Mavromatis]

I don't know what's a CLP$ is but now I have 1780 of it.

 

[The Elite]

Wonder how long it will take for Valve to fix this and what the ramifications will be. It's worrying, honestly.

Is there anything I should be doing right now to protect myself?

 

[Sputnik]

I have my payment info and all that stored in Steam. How worried should I be right now?

 

[goober]

Is it only the Steam client, or browser?

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Is there anything I should be doing right now to protect myself?

Wear a nappy.

so i accidentally deactivated someone steam account on all devices but my own.

make of that what you will

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

Wonderful.

Shits fucked yo

Totally agreed. Just waiting for any confirmation if it's even possible to permanently do shit to other people's account, or if its "just" a giant display bug or something. If anyone can potentially end up in my account, it wouldn't matter if I change a password anyway, since he didn't need it in the first place. If this is really as fucked up as people fear it might be, Valve is in for some serious trouble I'd imagine.

 

[Fuu]

this is crazy

 

[Leonsito]

What the fuck Valve, pull out the fucking plug, what are you waiting for??

 

[Incendiary]

Yup, even in the Steam client, I can see other people's account info.

I have two-factor authentication protecting my account, but I can only assume the email address associated with it is now out in the wild.

I literally just added phone security to my Steam account a week or so ago. I hope they fix whatever is happening soon - although I have no idea what I should do after.

 

[dickroach]

mmmm yeah I just went to go change my account info/settings/whatever and I'm logged into someone else's account. great.

 

[NaM]

email+phone number is really a powerfull combination, and that's not even half the info you get...

 

[The Dear Leader]

I'm getting a cycle of the same accounts, it's based on the games page I go to on the store.

 

[xJavonta]

this is a massive fuck up. how is valve going to remedy this?

 

[DeaviL]

I'm only seeing the accounts of the 2 same users though.
Pro vas, and some russian guy.

 

[Nothus]

WTF

 

[Zom]

I don't know what's a CLP$ is but now I have 1780 of it.

Chilean pesos

 

[Parallacs]

Reminder to anyone joining the thread:

DON"T BUY ANYTHING, MONITOR YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.

 

[DeaviL]

I'm pretty sure they can't to jack with my email+phone unless they speak Dutch.

 

[betawi]

Unfortunately both.

 

[SmokedMeat]

So glad I buy everything with Steam cards. Hope this doesn't happen elsewhere.

 

[kingkitty]

valve needs some life is strange powers

 

[R0ckman]

This keeps up and people will just not celebrate Christmas anymore, ship the present, skip out on the family drama and go back to working, especially in fields that get compromised during downtime. This may be a high time for cyber security over-time

 

[Demon Lizardman]

The fuck is going on, yes I'm Russian but that don't mean I speak it. I think I my have someone else's account.....

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

what the flying fuck


i have a mat2games account on me


yoooooooooo what







all my prices are in euro too what

 

[Monooboe]

I'm think that it's best not to change own settings incase the phone app gets messed up and such, since that probably is a layer of security that might be need if shit gets really messed up.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Valve pulled the plug! Holy shit this is insane!

 

[Drencrom]

Lol at people saying this is nothing to worry about.

You can literally see other people's information and use/change it...

 

[LurkerPrime]

so i accidentally deactivated someone steam account on all devices but my own.

make of that what you will

Welp. Time for a database rollback.

RIP Steam Cloud.

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

Is this the Holiday Seal? The world's wallets have had enough pillaging and have brought Steam down to save themselves.

The Seventh Seal was broken.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

So now I need to change my email address, credit card and phone number?

 

[dickroach]

it's weird. like... I'm logged into my steam account, when I go to Activity, etc. it's all my shit. but when I click on my username at the top right and hit Account Details I'm in someone else's account. odd.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

I am in an Indian guys Steam...

 

[Black Soma]

Not just on the client, even on browser. I'm not even logged in but it still keep showing random people's accounts.

 

[inm8num2]

I am logged in as someone else in my client as well.

Valve, for fuck's sake take everything offline.
