Valve has now published a statement confirming that “the recent leak being reported did not breach Steam systems” and that Steam account passwords aren’t affected.

Well, I already changed it anyway. Not a bad thing to do I guess.
Dont they force 2fas anyway ?
yeah
I’m gonna have AI make fake datasets of stolen accounts and scam scammers.
That’s… Actually not a bad idea. Place dummy sets on legitimate servers that then feed into legitimate looking, but flagged, accounts. Sprinkle them into legitimate datasets too. Flood the dark web with fake info that goes off like a landmine when used.
I’m sure that’s something that already gets done. At least, I’d hope it does.
Not to sound like a Steam simp, but they put a lot of faith in Steam Guard. Gabe Newell shared his password. This is old information and he may have changed it, also I don’t know if there were problems. https://www.escapistmagazine.com/gabe-newell-gives-away-personal-steam-password/
It’s not a good comparison, but it is funny to talk about. The founder of LifeLock trusted his product so much that he put his SSN on billboards and television ads. His identity was stolen 13 times. https://www.wired.com/2010/05/lifelock-identity-theft/
