Apparently, something is going wrong with Steam and it is allowing people access to users' wallet/purchase history. Until further notice, stay off Steam and do not click links that lead to Steam. I'll update when more information is released.

 

Edit 1: It allows you to see: account name, email, last 2 digits of card, current steam wallet fund, purchase history, security

If you wish, you may unlink your PayPal from Steam but do NOT do it via Steam, do it via PayPal instead.

 

Edit 2: It is a caching issue, meaning that ANYTHING having to do with Steam will put you at risk, from opening Steam, to playing games, to clicking links to the Store. Just stay off Steam until everything is sorted out.

 

Edit 3: The issues have been resolved. No known unauthorized transactions were made during this, so that's a good sign.

Um, wow that's actually really bad.  Thanks for the info.

What about playing games?

 

Is that compromised as well?

Anything involving steam. It's a caching issue, not a security breach

Well, it appears that Steam servers are down, because my client won't connect.

I've been contacted by a friend here on the site via steam, and I have no clue if it's compromised or not.

 

What's the scope of the breach? Because account name, email, last 2 digits of card, current steam wallet fund, purchase history, security sounds like normal access privileges to me...

I think as long as you are not on your own account or you didn't click anything they sent you, you should be fine

Well again all I did was chat with a friend, so maybe that would mean my account is compromised...

 

Again though, I don't see how all those you listed would be considered a breach. Now if they can see my full credit card number or make purchases off of it, then I would be afraid...

does this affect anybody who just joined steam recently and didn't purchase anything on steam too?

Everyone. If you didn't purchase anything you should be fine though. Just stay offline. (though servers are down so you have no choice anyway)
