Popular Post MarsipanRumpan Posted December 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) Steam is having lots of trouble right now. People is getting access to other peoples accounts and I even belive Steam has shut down for now. I don't have a lot of information about this since Valve hasn't said anything on the matter. But don't log in to ANY steam url, websites, games, nothing. People may access your account. I don't play PC games so this won't matter for my part, but I thought a warning could be good to get out there to those of you who does. Stay careful guys! Also find it a little funny everyone has been worrying about PSN and XBL a lot but this time its Steams turn to have problems even though it sucks, no one should have problems like this Hope it gets fixed soon, cheering for you Valve in these dark minutes / hours! I don't know how to post tweets over here, but here are some examples: Angry Joe: https://twitter.com/AngryJoeShow/status/680494881362452480 Jason Schreier: https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/680494716710969344 Total Biscuit: https://twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/status/680493617941757952 Steam Database: https://twitter.com/SteamDB/status/680494433826115585 Steam is up and running as you may have noticed and is working pretty good. Im not sure how good it is to transfer money onto steam but I belive its safe Edited December 26, 2015 by MarsipanRumpan 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowStar83x Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Thanks for the warning. Wasn't planning on logging on today, but I'll stay off. I'll just keep playing my PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy_rules Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Good shout, I don't have a steam account. Does that mean they ignored xbox and PS this year, and went after Steam instead? Look forward to seeing how this develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipknot_rooney Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I was considering logging in and playing some Chivalry and or Stranded Deep. Thank you for the warning sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarsipanRumpan Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Good shout, I don't have a steam account. Does that mean they ignored xbox and PS this year, and went after Steam instead? Look forward to seeing how this develops. I actually belive its on Steam themself. If I understand correctly it has with the new Steam Sale to do, so when you log in you come onto someone else account and they come on yours. Im not really sure but from what I've seen it seems like Steam is responsible for this. *Not Confirmed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpknight Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Yeah, i've heard about this too. Thanks for the warning! I guess i'll try to finish some of my PS3 games while i wait for the all-clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Clown Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Yeah, been seeing problems with the store all day long, then an hour or so ago the store was in another language. I heard the store was shut off completely, but I can still load it up. Definitely not buying anything though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annare_ Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 looks like it's not an attack By the way, this is not a security breach. This is page caching gone rogue. Most likely not respecting Cache-Control headers https://twitter.com/SteamDB/status/680492664610000896 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PipeSwinger Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I was just reading an article online and then I saw that another article was titled "Steam is experiencing a christmas disaster" I didn't even bother clicking on that article, but wow! That is certainly not good. I really want to log in just to delete personal information off there. But I will hold off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihiris- Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Valve released a statement: "Steam is back up and running without any known issues.

I could not imagine what would have happened to Valve/Gaben, if it was a breach! Considering the fact that people spend too much money on near useless virtual cosmetics, a shame that nobody could take them away in such a naughty Christmas spectacle.

This issue has since been resolved. We believe no unauthorized actions were allowed on accounts beyond the viewing of cached page information and no additional action is required by users." This is what I thought was the issue too, a caching issue I mean. I've seen it on other sites before. It's pretty terrible when it happens. I remember this one time, and I don't know if it was a caching issue then, but basically it was the national system for everyone in the country delivering their tax reports etc. Everyone who went there got this one person's profile, and not their own. lol Anyways, I don't think there was any reason not to log into steam, but rather that people could take this chance to get you to click a link to a fake steam page where you gave out your real login info.
