Well... I tried to log on to steam today and it gave me the incorrect log in error. I attempted to recover via email... I didn't receive an email. D: I'm making this topic to see if those who had me on their friends list still have me or if my account is gone from your friends lists (To confirm the hack). I'm about to follow this process: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2347-QDFN-4366

TL;DR: FUCKING LOW-LIFE MOTHERFUCKERS WHO STEAL ACCOUNTS. :mad:
THIS GUY BETTER GET AN ULTRA BAN HAMMER TO THE FACE.

Well I'm gonna ask you the most annoying question ever:

HAVE YOU EVER GIVEN YOUR ACCOUNT TO SOMEONE SUCH AS A FRIEND OR RELATIVE?

=)

To be honest, I have. I really doubt he'd steal it seeing as he's one of my closest friends... :eyesroll:

E: I sent it in btw... I hope for a fast response. D:

Anyone know how long that might take?

That really sucks. From the information I got when I tried to refriend you it's some fuckhead hacker all the way from Azerbaijan.


Post your new steam account in this thread if you have to make one. This really sucks =/.

I'd recommend doing virus, spyware, adware and every other kind of check you possibly can. Go on hijackthis and run that, see if anything turns up, etc. You don't want to go through all of this trouble getting your account back if it ends up getting stolen again immediately afterwards.

I lost my steam account once too, no one knew my info it just got jacked somehow. I bought a 2nd copy of CSS and luckily that was all that was on the first account.

wish you luck

My comp is clean... what else would have caused this?

Either there is something on there or you had a password that was easy enough to guess. I doubt that this person is a real hacker and if he was he probably wouldn't be wasting his time stealing Steam accounts, but who knows.

If you have been using unsecured wifi (like on a laptop at an airport or something) then that could have been where your password and account info was stolen.

Make sure to change all the passwords on your other stuff if you haven't already.

This is nothing compared to getting your e-mail holding your myspace and XBL account stolen and all your XBL, myspace friends list deleted.....SECURE E-MAILS!!!!

That sucks. I've seen a handful of people at other forums have their accounts stolen as well. You should have no problem getting it back hopefully.

Actually, I think that there's an exploit within Steam, so people who know how to make use of it can just jack accounts at will. It'd explain how randoms can do it, at least.

I wasn't trying imply anything about people from Azerbaijan. I'm just saying that this particular individual is a fuckhead. I mentioned Azerbaijan because I thought that it would be a helpful detail for Ultima to figure out what happened.

I try not to generalize people.

Most of the time, these "hackers" have had their old account VAC banned and can't afford new games. I don't think this guy took Ultima's account to get VAC banned again.

Perhaps not, but i doubt he'd be too worried if it did get banned.

The other type would be the trolls who are out to get any account they can get their hands on VAC banned.

Or the third type who the accounts on for profit (and then, even if the account gets returned, they still get the cash http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/emot-q.gif)
