Who uses the same password for the forum AND steam? :?
How can anyone be so lazy? Nevertheless I just changed my password anyway.

They took their time announcing this. Steam itself wasn't actually hacked. vBulletin that powers Steam Forums was hacked using a widely known exploit. This then gave access to various databases.

So really you only need to worry about your Steam Forum account details, if you had one.

Steam Guard will provide sufficient protection even if someone knows your username and password.

Unless of course your email password was the same as you steam password. I mean no one would have been doing that would they :oops:

Changed my password regardless. Needed to be changed anyway just needed a good enough reason to it, and this seems to be as good as they get.

Yep I saw this on Friday as well, luckily I was never signed up to the forums but to be honest I think I will still change my password.

I had a gut feeling that this incident would happen to steam sooner or later, what with the ps3 and other online shops security breaches that have happened in the past.
