Getting into multiple accounts. One account had a debit/credit card linked to his account, thought I'd do him a favor and delete it, but it just sent me to an error page.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Stealth advertising for steam mobile authenticator?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

For everyone worrying about your CC getting stolen, I thought it only shows the last 4 digits of the card if you have it saved?

If you have saved your private details, like adress, name and all, you can get identity stolen. Those are private details, that were compromised.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Pretty glad I only ever used paypal

 

[inm8num2]

Fucking ridiculous.

I have no idea what to do. Logged out of browser and client.

 

[Blitzhex]

Switching through people's accounts as I'm selecting games and able to look into other people's carts and wishlists too. This could turn into a disaster if it isn't fixed soon.

Ye, same. This stuff is scary.

 

[Rootbeer]

come on Valve shut this shit down until you get it worked out.

 

[Bunta]

got some other guys account up when i went to my funds in steam

Deleted his CC details for him. Hope some one else is as kind to me :x

I tried deleting someone's paypal email link for them, but was prompted with a login.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

fyi: If you use paypal like I do for steam payments, you can go into your paypal account settings, then click preapproved payments, and find the one for Valve, and then cancel it.

Done. Thanks.

 

[metalslimer]

Can't believe it hasn't been shut down

 

[Angel Abaddon]

I've got xxxx account here, and it has card details attached. This is seriously worrying.

Edit: removed username because not the best idea advertising them.

I DIDN'T WANT CREDIT CARD THEFT FOR CHRISTMAS VALVE

People were complaining that the Winter Sale wasn't exciting enough this year.

You want excitement? Have some Russian Roulette.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I was just knocked offline for a minute or two, I think they might be doing something.

 

[Bebpo]

I'm getting an error code when I try to access my account security page in the windows app. Maybe they've caught onto it? Or something else is going on...

Same. Hopefully they've shut this down.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

?

It's been like 15 minutes. It's also December 25th, which in America (where Valve HQ is located) people usually celebrate Christmas with their families.

Actually i got my steam account recovery e-mail 2 days ago but just ignored it cause it said so, "ignore this email if you don't want to reset your account." So i did.

Edit:

WTF

I got another steam account recovery e-mail 2 hours ago.

 

[Fitts]

Crazy. I don't have a CC saved to my account but is my steam wallet safe?

 

[timcsavage]

Crap, I've got this problem too. Can we do anything?

 

[Buzzy42]

I can't log in to Steam at all, but thankfully I never leave a working credit card on my account although I wish I had set up Steam Guard.. one of those things I always meant to do.

Any attempts to login just bounce me right back to the home page, so hopefully they've at least mitigated this from getting any worse than the complete mess it already is..

 

[Theecliff]

Someone just made a purchase from my card. Holy fucking shit.

fucking helllllll

 

[qa_engineer]

This is why I don't have a saved credit card on my steam account

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Anyone with credit information stored on Steam should consider notifing their credit company ASAP to refuse all transactions until further notice.

 

[Syf]

How the fuck does this happen Valve? Holy shit.

 

[TheBowen]

WTF its happening to me too. Apparently im logged in as some russian guy.

Crap if someone has my account it has £20 on it that someone gave me for christmas -_-

 

[T.O.P]

Just got a Redux dude with a Fnatic pic

This is weird as fuckkk

And the client went to German for a few seconds O_O

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Valve needs to just take everything offline RIGHT NOW. Shut down everything Valve.

 

[Caffeine]

glad I didnt have any payment stuff on account.

 

[iamverificationimage]

Shitting bricks here, can't use my phone to remove payment details ended up with some random American account on it and some random Dutch account on my pc. Thanks Valve

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Can't login into Steam. Fuck.

Someone's getting sued.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

It's happening.

I can't even remember if my CC details are saved in my account or not.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Someone just made a purchase from my card. Holy fucking shit.

Shit someone got my account, saw they changed my email etc.

Fuck.

Time to start monitoring your online bank accounts for suspicious activities, people.

 

[johancruijff]

uh, so people are buying with other people accounts and gifting themselves

 

[Sutton Dagger]

This is going to irreparably damage Valve's image in the gaming community, who's going to trust them with sensitive information after this?

 

[UrbanRats]

So depending on the game i click, i get a different profile, but each profile always seems linked to a specific game.
For example if i click on Crusader Kings, i always seem to get a certain "maumau something something".

 

[The Dear Leader]

WHERE'S MY FREE LITTLE BIG PLANET AND INFAMOUS VALVE!?!

 

[Kouriozan]

Looks like I'm not affected by this weirdness, phew.

 

[blame space]

I'm in someone else's account

😔

 

[Vamphuntr]

It's completely broken. I can access the account details and order history of two different account. Fix this Valve.

 

[MrV4ltor]

I'm getting Russian and Czech accounts, but it looks like a different one each time for me. Messy

 

[Prosopon]

uh, so people are buying with other people accounts and gifting themselves

And so it begins...

WHERE'S MY FREE LITTLE BIG PLANET AND INFAMOUS VALVE!?!

This is so much worse.

 

[Spirited]

Valve needs to shut everything down until they fix this shit.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Someone just made a purchase from my card. Holy fucking shit.

Time to shutdown steam, like seriously, wtf is valve doing.

 

[Zoracka]

According to the mods over at /r/steam, they are working on it.

 

[Duffman]

Valve better give us some free shit for this lol

 

[Soyongdori]

Reddit steam moder says valve is fixing it right now as we speak.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/3y7le9/im_logged_in_as_someone_random_on_steam/

 

[Lautaro]

Holy fuck, this is messed up.

Are people discussing this in any of the Steam forums?

I just posted it in the Steamworks private group... I rather be found guilty of overreacting than to risk anything...

 

[Kiru]

The irony:

 

[Joyful]

if you buy games via paypal
login to paypal and remove Valve from preapproved payments, that means you gotta login to paypal again to buy stuff iirc

 

[thiscoldblack]

Shut
Down
All
Servers
Valve

x_x

 

[Mr Nash]

Hopefully Valve gets people into the office soon and fixes this, or at least shuts down the servers and it doesn't take forever to call people in on Christmas.

 

[johancruijff]

Valve needs to just take everything offline RIGHT NOW. Shut down everything Valve.

Spoiler

i'm sorry
