Steam compromised, Data potentially taken
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2011 7:30 am
For those of you that use Steam, Ben and Matt both let me know that apparently Steam was hacked. Ben sent me this article which better explains what happened. At least Steam didn't wait as long as Sony did to report something had happened. Plus, it looks like Steam used proper security measures for their stored data unlike Sony which stored their passwords and vital customer info in less secure ways. I do recommend watching your bank account activity for awhile in case any suspicious activity happens but if what they mention in that article is true, you may not really have to worry much, if at all. A good practice though is to change your Steam account password just in case and just keep an eye on whatever credit card you used for any unknown expenditures.
