Uh-oh - Steam 'hacked'

[sapi]

I like steam.

I really do.

But this worries me.

Take out the 50% bs that will be pouring out of any hacker's mouth, and it's still pretty damn bad...if he's telling the truth

Of course, it's just as likely to be a hoax - but nevertheless, it will be very interesting to watch how valve reacts to this, hoax or not.

I'm all for flaying alive, but I don't think that many people will agree with me here

And if you feel in need of a laugh: look at the 'convincing' proof that has surfaced thus far: this image.

Why do I doubt that that's an accurate representation of Valve's accounts?

Incredible. This made me lost faith in Steam.

Heh, it was me.... No, really it was me!

Unless there is proof, for now it's just a case we don't know much of. In a certain way I like Steam due to updates easily detected and carried out, etc., but I also dislike it for when you buy a game in a store or online store you always have to get that damn thing workin' again. Even if you play the damn game Steam must be on afaik. Isn't there a better way?

...then again, the only stuff I've played over Steam is HL2 and CS S.

Meh, good for em, if true. I've always hated Steam- it's annoying, obtrusive, shovelware.

I hope they haven't registered my credit card information. My cc was refused, I hope they didn't register it.

You forgot "big brother-ish spyware".

Kind of amusing in a personal way, my job is to keep my employer OFF of the front page of CNN due to stuff exactly like this.

The article and the commentary.

So half bs, half fair dinkim tardishness.

Last I checked, though, hacking a server located in the US makes you liable for violating US law.....
