But how does the thief trade away items not being on friend list earlier bypassing the new 87 day trade hold? Of course its a different thing if it's on a trade hold the items won't be visible in inventory.

look at the date my comment was posted - tommorow it will be 2 years ago! 2 years ago there was no trade hold like you know now, no mobile authenthicator etc. Mentioned trade hold was something different - you had 7 day lock when logging from new PC, but the programs were stealing authenthication files from your PC and copying them to phisher. This way his version of the client pretended to be the verified one from your PC. And email Steam Guard was not mandatory and most of ppl were not using it. So back then there were many programs like mentioned in this topic that would steal all your stuff the moment you DL them. They would automatically send and accept trade offer with all of your stuff, ther moment you DLed such a thing few seconds later everything from your account was gone.

yea! i think steamguard.exe made this strange thing happen

you also gained something worth more than a steam account: some knowledge about the internet: "do not download and run every shitty executable offered on a not trustworthy website"
sorry for not being understanding - but what you did was just stupid

ey there all
let me go straight to my point
i like dirty tricks too, but while being on the right side
if anyone here could give me some information about this program, on what sites it appears, or if you could give me a direct download link that would be even better
i'd love to trace back what their program communicates to :) and maybe send out some of my communicating skills to them..
so to sum it up, tell me on what sites it appears and if possible what pages so i could even check how they've gotten there

Seems the url of stearncomrnunlty(.com I assume) provided the same. But then again, if you are into those dirty tricks, you would have been able to find that yourself very easily already, wouldn't you?

Is best for you to delete that URL, that is now against the rules.

Thank you steam support! Just writting this for all who need this infomation.

this particular thread - not anymore. Since of mobile authenthicator introduction thief would either have to get access to his phone as well (if OP has mobile authenthicator enabled that is - but if he wants to sell cards or to trade - it's a must anyway).
Comment has been collapsed.
if someone don't use authenthicator than any trade done from his account will be put on trade hold, same goes to amrket transactions as well. So thiefs nowaday can potentially only steal gifts (by gifting them), but cannot touch anything else on your account. And stolen gifts will simply be revoked by Steam after you inform them :>

I was also stupid enough to click on a phishing link, but steamguard blocked the intrusion before it could do anything , I was worried to death because I couldn't access my steam account but that was because steamguard was blocking it on my PC , after a nice format and double check virus clean it was all good again , most stressful time of my life !
PS was like a year ago when I started to use steam on a regular bases , and it was one of those bot accounts that add you with "you have won a CSGO skin, open this link www.phising.com to choose your skin" and I fell for it XD

THX for this big waterfall of warnings and infos
Some Month ago I got another try of phising or hacking into my PC.
Someone at SteamLevel "0" (!!!!) wrote into my chat that I won any giveaway at any group, which name I couldn't find anywhere!
After that he sent a link, which "include" the list of games that I can choose!
I DIDN'T WANT TO DOWNLOAD this file! I wrote that I can't open his "LIST" and he has to write me the games at chat.
Suddenly the guy didn't answer on anything i wrote!
I think that was an auto-writing-bot or anything else
So I searched for this in Internet and found a lot of other victims.
BEWARE of false GIVEAWAYS !!!!!

Oh, that? It affected many semi-large public groups. It was strange, since that form of attack was outdated even by then, most scammers switched to totally different tactics. (Then again, people still fall for the Nigerian prince scam, even these days.)

I get it these phishing malwares get account details. What I don't get it even if they do get account details they would still need a steam guard code to access account as steam would detect the account being operated from a new ip, PC, phone or location. That can only be obtained from your actual email id attached to account or your mobile phone authenticator or SDA. How can they access that?
Comment has been collapsed.
this topic is 2 years old - back then there was no mobile authenthicator, eventually there was emeil authentication, but it could be bypassed as well. After you verified your account on a new PC once steam would store verification files in it's folder. All the phishing program had to do was to copy these verification files and send them to phisher and he could pretend to be on your verified client and easilly send all your items via trade without any holds.

LOLOL. Why would someone bump a 2 year old thread? OP maker please close thread.
