Better keep an eye on your credit card statements if you're a Steam user... (2 Viewers)

[pete]

We learned that intruders obtained access to a Steam database in addition to the forums. This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. 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.

We don’t have evidence of credit card misuse at this time. Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely.

Hashed and salted passwords. Yum. I don't know what it means but I'm assured it's a good precaution.

Changey password time.

Bad news for Steamers yeah?

Yup. Paddlewheel boats are not what they used to be.

I don't bother with the forums - Should I change anything? I think I used Paypal...

Yup. Paddlewheel boats are not what they used to be.

Especially those from Cleveland.
