Posted December 25, 2015 Guys, I know this is a big issue, and everyone is freaking out. Calm down, Valve has already shut down the servers. In the meantime: -Do not do anything. Do not visit Store links, do not purchase games, do not view your Account info, nothing. -If you are already logged in, you can stay logged in, just do not touch anything. -If you happen to log into someone's account, be a good sport and don't mess with their stuff. -If you have any pre-purchase approvals such as PayPal, remove them from Steam THROUGH PAYPAL. DO NOT TOUCH STEAM. We just need to wait this out and keep calm. I'm sure Valve will make a public announcement about this shortly. Maybe we'll get a free game or something. If you have a credit or debit card attached to your account, do not worry as the user logged into your account still needs a CVV or CVC to make any purchases. I know there are a lot of Steam posts but I just wanted to tell everyone what is the best thing to do right now. I am trying my best to keep on this topic and I will update this post regarding any new information. Feel free to discuss, mods if there are already too many Steam posts please take this one down.

Posted December 25, 2015 I'm playing TF2 as we speak I have Steam connected to my spam email, and have never bought anything, so I'm not worried. The worst thing that could happen to me right now is that I lose my current TF2 progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 25, 2015 Author They can only see the last 4 digits (I tried to see someone else's phone number) That's good. At least Valve is taking steps in the right direction, the only thing they did wrong in all of this is take an extraordinarily long amount of time to shut down the servers.

Posted December 25, 2015 Email-i doubt they actually want to do something with it. Phone Number-only last 4 digits Good thing i don't have PayPal or Card on my account, Steam Wallet only!

Posted December 25, 2015 Have there been reports of people actually loosing money from this?I just woke up, heard all this shiznit. Checked my Paypal (Which is pre-approved) Nothing has been bought.Someone else in this thread already said that they couldn't change anything.Maybe I'm just lucky.If they've managed to prevent people from spending others money. At least it's a slightly smaller problem. Then They just have to deal with the fact that they've basically just made a bunch of private information public. One Steam to rule them all, One Sale to find them, One Sale to bring them all and with their wallets, bind them! - r/pcmasterrace 17/01/2014 Spoiler CPU: Intel Core i7 6700k CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212+ RAM: 16GB Kingston HyperX Fury 2400Mhz (2x8GB) GPU: Gigabyte G1 R9 390 Mobo: Asus Z170-AR PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 900W Storage: 240GB intel 520 SSD (OS), Sandisk 128GB SSD(Other OS) 2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda Case: Fractal Design R4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
