I guess it was only a matter of time but still sad to see Valve targeted. Personally I've always seen Steam as the good guys out there but I know others disagree.Source: BBC News

Thank god i didn't have a forums account on steam.

Likewise but by the sounds of it they got into the rest of Steam as well from the forums. I've never stored card details on Steam thankfully.

Well looks like even Valve aren't safe from hacking bastards.

Still, no one's getingt into Gabe's account, even though the internet knows his password. Gabe Newell stellt IPT für Steam auf der Cebit 2011 vor - YouTube

Steam Guard is a brilliant innovation It's one of those things that makes Valve a real leader in the market rather than just copying others like *cough* Origin *cough*
