Reminder about Steam Account security

Postby Andy on Fri Jan 09, 2009 2:44 pm

It has come to our attention that some of our regular players have been targeted by someone attempting to hijack accounts. We think maybe this person is going through members of the EuroHangout steam group and trying to trick people into giving account details.

This is a gentle reminder that you should never ever, under any circumstances, enter your login details into a steam chat with anyone, never enter your steam account login details on a website other than steampowered.com. Valve staff members will never contact you via Steam Friends, ever.

Be very careful!


ps. Just because we like to investigate, the person that is doing this is:

Steam Name: ID Technician
Steam Profile: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198004916589
Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:22325430

I searched the Steam Community for anyone using the name "ID Technician", there was 1 result. I put his Steam ID page URL into the Eurohangout converter, which told me his Steam ID :-)

I haven't reported him to Steam yet.
