Steam H4XS!

[Leaderz0rz]

quoted from a forum i browse alot...I dunno the details behind it but I thought it was important info to atleast mention it..

if any of you is playin source or cs or whatever on steam and recieve a pop up about your steam ticket being expired... DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT PUT YOUR PASSWORD IN.

this happened to me from WITHIN STEAM not some random **** thing... this was right after i disconnected from a server and was browsing the server list INSIDE cs.

next day i did this... couldn't log into my account... wasn't recieving emails regarding a password change. i thought it was just steam bein **** cause of traffic or somethin. week later (today) i try again... same **** so i'm like wtf is goin on. send in a steam report ticket thing... next thing i know i receive an email from some random guy who claims that my account might of gotten stolen. i contact him on aim... turns out he had been receiving all my password change emails... some guy had sold him my account information.

i have sent steam 2 emails and am eagerly awaiting their response. this is really freaking me out though since this happened without me downloading any extra software (that i know of etc) and just filling out some stupid steam made box (well it looked legit).

i repeat DO NOT PUT YOUR PASSWORD FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN LOGGING IN... even then make sure it's absolutely necessary to do it.

I had something like that happen to me. I couldn't log in at all. Now I think it was because of what that guy mentioned.  Anyway, I sent an email to Steam and they resetted the password for me and voila.

Nah, just delete ClientRegistry.blob .. again. And retry.

Ah crap, I did that too. It happened right after it crashed out of a game so I figured it was legit >_<

Doesn't that happen when someone signs on your steam account on another computer ?

Yes, I think that it happens then too.

This always happens to me after my router crashes (due to ****ing Steam problems again, btw) - I restart my router, and when I turn Steam on again, join a server, several minutes later the ticket expires.
Are you sure it's someone stealing passwords? How about contacting Valve and asking them?

like i said i'm not sure about it, but i thought it would be worth posting. he could of had a keylogger on his cpu or somthing aswell.

A few dozen people probably have your account info.

Either the guys computer was trojaned, or he can't remeber his own password.  Those boxes save you from having to close steam and restart it.  They are part of steam.  I recieved one while connecting to LM, and I doubt lb wants my password :p
