not sure if you guys want to create a new thread? Steam got hacked!

Quote:

Gabe Newell announced today that Steam's database and forums have been hacked. According to Newell, Steam's forums were defaced earlier this week, and further investigation led to evidence that the hackers had obtained access to the Steam database.

"This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information," Newell wrote. "We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still investigating."

While the hackers may have had access to the data, it isn't immediately clear how much information they actually took, or if any of it has been used.

"We don't have evidence of credit card misuse at this time," Newell added. "Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely."

Beyond personal information, Newell also issued an advisory about Steam forum accounts. All users will be required to change their passwords the next time they log in, and Newell recommends changing the passwords on any other accounts that used the same password.

"We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn't be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password. We will reopen the forums as soon as we can. I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience."

so this is really weird as I think they got hacked right before I was about to prebuy skyrim.

Since they've already been hacked, is it safe to put my credit card info at this moment?

Gabe confirmed the encryption for CC number is AES256; nothing to worry about, they can't decrypt that

also, some free DOTA2 and free Portal2 coming.

I am not sure if MW3 works on my laptop. And I am not willing to pay 99.99 $ to find out. But I just bought it for 70$ as bundle together with the strategy guide. And no: I don't pretend to understand the their price strategy...

Still on the fence about it

Oddly enough, it's not even about money. It's about if I'll play it =/

Does anyone know what's Steam's policy to registering with keys that aren't meant for your area? I could get legit keys for russian localizations much cheaper and activate them using russian VPN/proxy, but what does Steam TOS say about that?

I assume they can't really do anything as long as the keys are legit, but would be great if someone could confirm. I don't wanna lose my steam account trying to save ten to twenty dollars per game.

I'm new to Steam and I'm loving the community. It's like a huge LAN network with loads of games to play.

Never played an Elder Scrolls game before, $6.24 seems like a good place to start for Oblivion GOTY Edition.

Man, ever since I installed steam, I'm so tempted to buy so many games online. The prices seem pretty low to me compared to what they sell in the malls.
