Keep an eye on your accounts and take a read at what they recommend doing. They are not sure how much information if any has been stolen. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15690187 Message from Steam. Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users: Our Steam forums were defaced on the evening of Sunday, November 6. We began investigating and found that the intrusion goes beyond the Steam forums. 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. While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised, all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other accounts you should change those passwords as well. We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password. We will reopen the forums as soon as we can. I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Gabe. |

One more reason why I hate Skyrim requiring Steam to play. I pre-ordered the hard copy in hopes to do the traditional install, instead of hours of downloading, so I could jump in as soon as possible (I'm also getting sick of dealing with Steam and its constant disappointments). It's definitely not that way. Because of the poor internet connection during the night hours, it took all night for this to finally be ready. But honestly, that one flaw is the ONLY thing wrong with this game. Bethesda has created a master piece. |
