Do NOT attempt to unlink PayPal, remove your credit card details or anything else. Doing so will put you at risk instead.

Noticed this earlier when I was having issues with the steam app. Kinda surprised servers are still online with this kind of a problem.

Yay steam!

You can cancel pre-approved payments with paypal via paypal's account settings, which should provide some protection for you.

GG volvo, you just rekt every pc gamer on earth with this fuck up, take it down for as long as possible or this is going to turn into the greatest fuck up since psn got destroyed and stood down for over a month, i hope my account didn't end up with a asshole ttrying to do shit just because, then again i don't have cc or paypal linked and only 2 cents in my wallet.

Also they should give everyone something for fucking up this bad (and I'm totally saying that because i got shit for Christmas and i want rocket league...)

this is one of the greatest thing that has happened to me recently, and it happened on this forum, those involved have my eternal gratitude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198850-update-alex-got-his-moto-g2-lets-get-a-moto-g-for-alexgoeshigh-unofficial/ :')

At least they can't play my games and get me VAC banned.

They don't know my CCV and I unlinked PayPal from my PayPal account so no one is buying anything on my account.

top of my wishlist would be a goddamn thorough report on exactly what has/could have been viewed and changed by unauthorized parties.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

SteamDB (not Valve) saying it's not a security breach, but instead an error on the rampage... 

 

(doesn't excuse the fact people have access to other people's details)

Actually, the issue is such that random people might have access to your phone number, and everything that entails....yeah pretty damn fucking bad that it has that in fact.
