checked both my e-mail and credit card just to be sure
Nothing wrong on both so far. Doesn't remove the un-easy feeling it might still happen though.

US credit cards require that as well.
Yup. More embarrassing posting in this thread from people thinking they're being funny by mocking you.
Added my card two days back. Fuck lol.
Guide to unlink Valve from Paypal.
Simply posting as much information as I can find from viable sources that have complete knowledge of Valve's backend, api, and crack it open on a daily basis.
- Log in
- Access your settings through the cog in the upper right hand corner
- Click Preapproved payments
- Click Valve, corp
- Select cancel option

I didn't see any either, maybe someone browsing caches or /v can confirm
However, that information came from a community moderator.
Again, I'm not seeing any doxing on /v/. It's just shitposting and people being very homoerotic as usual.
I don't have the 3 number verification thing anymore... I wish I did, but I've not had to put that in for at least 6 months now.
ah, cool

I'm looking forward to learning more about this tomorrow. Feel sorry for the people affected, but even more so for the Steam operators who are undoubtedly living a nightmare right now.
I just tried to and it said "Can't whilst an authentification is still needed"
God dammit.
They have to, it's christmas!

Just a concerned citizen.
I've been looking at some Valve employee twitter accounts and there's been nothing about this on any of them.
Yeah, it would be much easier for someone to purchase unwanted stuff with Steam wallet funds, but I suppose it would also keep track of who received the purchased items and Valve will likely be more amenable to rolling back that transaction in light of the situation.

As far as we know, it's just a caching error so no account changes can be made.
There have been some varying reports however, currently we are discussing the validity of charges being applied to people's accounts.

Phone numbers were absolutely 100% exposed, I saw them with my own eyes. It relied on you having stored your billing address info at one point in Steam (so if you never did this you are definitely okay, and if you removed your billing details you may also be okay if Valve deletes your saved info), but all that info was exposed if you knew where to look.

Checked my Gmail for PayPal and steam notifications and thankfully since I've been out I haven't logged into steam for a while. Nothing over here
Talk about a huge trust loss towards Valve from my point of view. They make so much money and still handle some of the most basic stuff like security and customer service like small time garage indie devs.
You had one job. I don't wanna have to worry about gaming accounts security during Christmas.

It seems people are just ignoring this, but it's been stated several times in the thread now.
That Steam Community Moderator clearly doesn't know shit.
I mean it's offline know, but people that would do shitty things with that info likely already have accessed it and probably have as much saved as possible.

Can't say I've ever played it
I don't even know what the hell that means TBH. Maybe you don't have a bank account tied to your paypal or need to verify an email address on your account?

How many other companies out there have multiple million customers, excluding the other big online sites?

So I've been out of the house all day, but my PC is logged into steam at home and my cc is linked to it. What should I actually be doing right now?

What a monumental fuck up. Thankfully I don't ever store card or paypal information on Steam but I do have funds in my wallet. I've had no e-mails about newly-made transactions though so hopefully I'm safe.
Same.

Nothing, except changing login info for any other sites which you may have been using the same login/password combo
My guess is this is a targeted attempt, Christmas Day represents their best chance at inflicting the most damage with minimal to no staff presence.
The only reason I'm still not quite confirming them is it's possible they bought something in previous days and their financial institution is just logging the charge. No need to fear monger until we have absolute concrete proof.
My point being, even those who are meaning well could be using anecdotal information to come to a conclusion, including myself.
That's horrifying.
I think there have always been lingering trust issues with Valve over CS problems, but this is going to cause them a lot of problems in the future.

Well we are talking about money here... Hard earned money that is open to some jerk who wants to purchase stuff because lolz. I don't know if you are compromised or have ever gone through identity theft.. But this is no calm matter at all and it irks me that some people are saying being level headed in a situation which could possibly ruin you for life is recommended... acting like this is some level headed situation. Wtf?
Like please don't.
Looks like GiantWaffle from twitch was able to see somebody else's full address and phone. AFAIK he was using the android steam app and not the PC client or website.
No idea if it is actually true, but worth checking if the andriod/ios apps leaked more information than the website/pc client.

From this very thread.
Steam stores the three digit code as well as the full credit card number. I've never had to add the CVV number when using a stored card on Steam.

Steam pass is a totally unique string, no worries there.
So, uh...
I saw this thread and checked Steam before I read the part about not going onto Steam. But the main store page wasn't loading and when I tried to check account details it didn't load either, then I closed Steam because I read a little further. This was probably 20 or 30 minutes ago. Was my account info cached or was Steam down by the time I checked? Am I safe or not? AAAAAAAAAAAA
