Does steam save ur credentials (i.e. paypal, credit…) on the account or just my hard drive?
Edit: I cant seem to find how that fucker got my loggin info. I had Kapersky Anti-Hacker active, did a scan and no keyloggers or other malicious software showed up, no virus’, and ive never given out my out my steam info to anything except the steam loggin window for the steam client,
Have you ever signed in to Steam on a different computer?
Yeah, still doesn’t work. Man steam is slow at responding to a hacked account.
I’m afraid getting your account back isn’t exactly their highest priority.
If the hacker changed your profile you got to edit it again, yes, it save anything you have before.I have jacked before so i know.
Also, it’s worth noting that a ‘hacker’ doesn’t necessarily need your steam login… He/she (polititically correct :’() may in fact have your steam login details by accessing your email.
Damn right there lady.
I need the sig’ that. Has to be the first grammatically correct sentence Eric has ever made.
^I giggled
Irony.
Also, ‘Damn right there lady’, while it’s easily understood, isn’t actually a sentence.
Damn right there Raw_Bean.
Lol, I used to do stuff like that with some bogus episode 1 beta offer thing, its surprisingly effective.
some jerk stole my account too. just send in a picture of a CD key (if you have one), along with any other credentials you can think of. the sooner you get them all that they’ll want, the sooner your account is yours again
You’re no longer in my friends list, So the hacker probably removed the friends…
Or… you might have done that. ¬.¬
Steam Hi-jacks usually happens mostly by the folowing :
Random Steam user tries to add you as a friend, and you’re sure you’ve never even played with that user in any game or mod.
A friend of yours on Steam suddenly acts strange (Sending you messages of hyperlinks or not responding all of a sudden, although the person is playing a game or mod. More scary if the player is in the same server with you).
Anyone offering you to be admin for a server or free games or other nonsense.
I was ALMOST a victim to one of these 3 but thanks to my high knowledge in I.T. Security, I know the difference between an offer and a trap. Keep in mind on the three up top and make sure your Antivirus and firewall are up and running, if ONE of those goes down it’s just making the hackers job easier.
I hope you get your account back soon.
So when someone offers you free games for your login credentials, it takes a high knowledge in I.T Security to realise that it’s a trap? Then again…
No, don’t be silly! xD
I’m talking about the ones where they give you a long list of “Here’s what you can win blah blah” followed by a hyperlink, that’s what I meant.
And obviously the hacker isn’t going to tell you WHY he/she wants you to join such a contest in reality.
Free ipods obviously. They’re always legit.
