[Raptor With a Saber]

[Eleccybubb]

Steam drinking game. On your browser every time the homepage changes languages DRINK! . Poor taste I know.

From steam twitter: By the way, this is not a security breach. This is page caching gone rogue. Most likely not respecting Cache-Control headers.

I'm lucky i don't save my card details... I've just tried to log in and got 3 different accounts when i selected "My Account", i've done the decent thing and clicked "Delete Card payment" they have stored incase someone decides to try and buy something with it!

And yet it seems VALVe is off on holidays right now or something...
Why the hell haven't they taken Steam offline right now? Wtf

Can you explain in moron language to us what that means? Does it just look scary but isn't dangerous?

Not a "security breach"(as in a specific hacker or hacker group is not infiltrating the network and getting information) but a major fucking security flaw when random joe can see your personal information or possibly make purchases on your account.

gonna unsave my payment stuff, but other than that worst case scenario I will just refund everything that is possible.

It means Steam needs to hire new security engineers.

[Teaon]

i am logged to someones account, well didnt do anything nor i would do, but i bet someone is logged to my account, well anyway thank god that my visa is pre-paid, he cannot pay shit until i put my money into my visa, long live prepaid visas

[George Costanza]

Steam guard seems to function?

[RoninaThorstone]

So the NSA are hiring people who DDOS?

Effective DDOSing can damage the economy of developed countries and undermine legitimacy in weak states.
The NSA and FBI regularly recruit the more skilled hackers/hacktivists (with the threat of jail, if they don't join)

From someone else on twitter: h4x to english translate: No one is attacking, just a bug where steam thinks you are someone else when logged in.

.@ZylusDota The best way to protect yourself is to completely avoid Steam websites for now.


Valve is having caching issues allowing users to view things such as account information of other users. Don't use Store for now.

True, but that's still real information you're getting to see. A lot of private info will get exposed today.

For everyone saying to remove your CC or other personal details, good luck actually making any requests while the servers are in this state. At most all you can do right now is log off steam completely, wait for them to fix this, change all your details once this issue has been fixed, and watch your CC billing info and steam account history like a hawk for the next little while.

Logging off steam is possibly the worst thing you could do(assuming you're actually logged into your own account already).

[Lolretadin]

Well wouldn't you want those kinds of skills in a cyber war? I'm pretty sure these people aren't stupid enough to do it again after being hired by them.

If they're patently retarded, then yes the NSA would want people whose only applicable skills are related to DDOSing.
It's not a difficult thing to do, and the software is not particularly hard to create either. Hell, if you really wanted to you could just buy clients that allow you access to the vendor's zombies, so you can DDOS without needing to do any work. $10 and you too can DDOS anyone you wish.

[Bigbazz]

This is really not acceptable from them, trying to access my account and all I get is other peoples accounts, where by I can see all of their information, as if it's on shuffle and the account changes constantly.
