They can't stop people from being fooled and acting on their own. Boonoo was only saved because he put in info from a different site. Valve says don't tell your password to ANYONE whenever a message box opens and some people still do that.
Luckily the process to getting access to your account back is pretty painless, aside from having to wait a few days. Just hope he doesn't get you VAC banned
There is a warning window that pops up when you click a link in chat so shit like this doesn't happen. Or at least so it will happen less.

Blizzard said:Unfortunately he's apparently using a remote administration tool through the guy in Portugal if he's telling the truth.
What difference does it make really? Even if you were able to pin down where this guy is, getting some sort of retribution or bringing charges against him would probably be just as hard.
DaFish will give Valve his CC number and he'll have his account back by the end of the week.
Yeah, but it was fun to do even though it was useless. He's in a country where college is not called college, so presumably a university in Europe or South America. And he plays DOTA. :lol Do you think it was bad that I played around with the guy?Orellio said:
Also, if you have your Steam account's email registered they can't change your password unless they hack your email as well.
Make a support account, and make a support request. You're lucky and it's early in the week so they might be able to fix it. The guy just logged off. Make sure you register your email to your account when you get it back, and if you already had it registered, then CHANGE YOUR EMAIL PASSWORD as soon as possible.DaFish said:

I clicked the link but did not enter info. Am I safe?
So, back to regular Steam chatter!
Someone posted this on CAG, but when did Bad Company 2 drop to $29.99? That's what the game store page says, and you get access to the MOH Beta or whatever. I've been offline for a little while so I didn't know if this was old.

Steam really needs to make a setting for blocking all messages from non-friends instead of having to click the reject on the pop-up window every time. If you aren't on my friends list and you are trying to message me, chances are your account was hijacked so I still have no desire to even have the message attempt even being brought to my attention.

Sanjay said:Dafish account got hacked so don't sign into your account from his link.
Why would I EVER sign into Steam from something other than the official interface?

That's where the IP goes back to, in Portugal. Unfortunately...
If he's doing a VPN through a non-proxy DSL line in a residence in Portugal then oh well on tracing him.
If there was a warrant put out for that, the ISP could still uncover the real source. Unfortunately, the law is still way behind on cyber crimes.

Borderlands will be getting a Steamworks update, at least for those who bought the title on Steam. It currently has Achievements showing on the Library page.

clickable url's should be disabled by default and then only if you dig deep into steam can you turn it on, would stop a lot of people clicking it, or have it to unless it shows the real steam url it's in a red colour with a huge warning about branching outside of steam, maybe.

Interesting. I wonder if they'll use Steamworks as the DRM too and dump Securom.

I feel bad for Team 17 because every time they do something besides rehashing the 2D Worms they fall on their face.Talyn said:
Alien Breed, victim of the worst timing ever? :lol
Hmm.. I might bite on Alien Breed. I liked the controls of Alien Swarm a *lot* better but it was so multiplayer centric and online was a complete lag-fest for me. The graphics in Alien Breed are far better as well.
Team 17 really should have done a 75% sale in the face of an extremely similar game releasing for free though.
