Valve, a company that operates solely online, takes its security pretty seriously and has a good reputation in this area. However, at the time of writing, its Steam forums are down, having suffered a hack attack earlier today. Visit the forums now and you see a message saying "The Steam Forums are temporarily offline for maintenance. Your patience is appreciated." This attack was apparently done by hackers who want to offer free game cheats (but one should be wary of stealthy malware payloads) since before the forums were taken down, they had planted this message:
Ever wanted to dominate the servers you play on with guaranteed results, but you were too afraid to cheat because of ban risks?
The rest of the message then recommends a website where one can obtain all sorts of illegal game cheats, hack tools and porn. Some Steam forum users even received an email with this text, such as this NeoGAF user. There's no indication that any user's account information has been compromised. However, if you haven't yet set up Steam Guard, now is a good time to do so, along with changing your password when the forums come back online. Also, be sure to use different a password for every login. Of course, many other gaming forums have been hacked in the past and just this year saw many hacks against such big names as Nintendo, Sega, BioWare, Epic Games and of course Sony, which was hacked many times over in protest at their business practices, such as removing the OtherOS feature from their PS3 console.

Does this effect everyone with a Steam account, or just those that use the forums? I've never been in their forums, so I'm good if it is the latter.

Ever wanted to dominate the servers you play on with guaranteed results, but you were too afraid to cheat because of ban risks? Visit ************. It's safe, secure and undetected.

Along with hacks, we've also got some general discussion sections, hacking tutorials and tools, porn, free giveaways and much more. This site has been conditioned to meet all your needs in terms of resources so be sure to take a look and tell us what you think.

There are better (as in, more worthy) sites that could be hacked.

is it just me that finds it all a little bit strange how during the forums being hacked they want you to "change passwords and steam guards?" what if there is something valve don't know and its bumping all the new passwords and info being changed to the hackers? fair enough change the passwords and such for security but smells fishy personally. However i dont use steam forums so all should be good :)

It would be a problem with vBulletin, not steam's own platform. Not only that, but steam runs their forums separately to their steam platform.

Lastly, vB, like all good software, encrypts/hashes your passwords. Compromising the db might net you email addresses or private messages, but you won't get everyone's passwords without some serious supercomputer time.

I don't think they mean it like that. When the forums are back online, then change the passwords.

25 posts? pfft. Just wait to see how your keyboard looks after 5500 posts - it'll be completely knackered and your fingers will have flat spots where they hit the keys! :laugh:

I can't imagine how Mussels' keyboard and fingers are after 31000 posts. :eek:

Yes, but many people use the same password on the forums as their steam account. Not to mention, most people link their steam community page in their forum profile.

That's a security fail on the part of the user. My passwords for the forum and the Steam client don't even resemble each other.

Theres something seriously wrong with the mentality of those hackers, letting cheaters run free on game servers means the game is wrecked and people stop playing it. Many good online games have been wrecked and died because of selfish asshole cheaters.

They're seriously fking retarded, and think the world owes them something, the kind of people that vandalise public property. They cant get any notoriety in their crap broken lives by doing something worthwhile so they destroy stuff instead. Assholes

That's a security fail on the part of the user. My passwords for the forum and the Steam client don't even resemble each other.

I am subscribe to so many different forums and e-mails etc etc that I can't possibly remember that many passwords

I have 5~6 passwords with a variation on some, but it is always a pain to remember which password I put where, so I end up doing the "forgot password" 25% of the time
