That's why they 100% recommend you get the 2-step authentication. Password or not, they can't get in. Actually you can't turn off the 2-step with just a password. You need to do it WITH the authenticator or some other method that requires MORE then just a password.\
You can't get ANY access to your account until AFTER you put the authentication code in. So... someone knows you really well or its inside job?
Something else happened here.

To everyone saying mobile "2FA" is the epitome of security:
Mobile phones are trivial to hack compared to PCs, proven by the hundreds of millions of malware downloads from the official app stores.
The phone on itself is purely 1FA, it allows you to do anything on your account without any other kind of authentication.
Mobile phones get stolen/lost all the time, when was the last time you misplaced your gaming PC?
So until Steam fixes the mobile version to be 2FA as well so you need PC to verify, it's a security risk.

Valve just gave me a middle finger and told me to look at the scam article and said they would "look into it" this is why they score so poorly with the better business bureau
Comment has been collapsed.
That's what they always do. Probably was their bot that randomly pastes parts of rules to people until they give up trying to talk to a human.
OTOH: there are probably multiple times the amount of scammers that give items to friend and then claim they were stolen than actual thefts, so that explains partly why they are so non-caring about it. Also it would cost money to offer customer support, but it's cheap to punish users instead with additional "security" hoops they love to jump through.

yeah well everytime everyone gets into one of these issues they need to file a complaint valve refuses to do the bare minimum and a bad score on the BBB helps to show that
Comment has been collapsed.
Do you really imagine people who want to play games go check some random score on a site they didn't even know about first, then pick Steam anyways because of their near monopoly on PC gaming. That's the sad part, it needs to be much bigger like EU making it illegal to prevent resale of digital games or Belgium trying to get EU to ban loot boxes as illegal gambling. Only then will they get hit where it hurts, their wallet and it will be billions of dollars, not 2 users stopping from buying new games while 20 others appear to take their place and sales go up.
Comment has been collapsed.
no not at all but when sites have really low scores on the BBB it can easily erupt into contrivercy especially if said company makes a slip up so say someone has an issues with steam support and some big issues occur leading to coverage then people drag in the bbb and the issue gets worse for said company its happened before for other companies
Comment has been collapsed.
Nothing like that has happened to Steam yet, no matter how big problems they've had or how non-responsive their support has been.
I can't even find Steam on their silly site, offers me endless lists of steam cleaning, locomotives etc. Nobody checks the score so nobody cares, meanwhile the only way to actually make a difference is either a huge class-action lawsuit or then at government level. If there was any real alternative to Steam people might bother to compare scores and pick the best one but still waiting for that day.
Comment has been collapsed.
It doesn't matter. Its not even an official accreditation for Valve, basically just a place where consumers who didn't take enough precautions can whine.
I haven't really had any bad experiences with support, even when it comes to refunds past the deadline. And as for jumping through hoops, there's no system that's fully secure, so why complain when you can massively increase the security of your account at minimal hassle? How hard is it to enter a code once when you install steam, or click on your phone a couple of times extra for sending a trade request?
Comment has been collapsed.
It is listed as Valve. But if you read you will see a lot of thing that are people giving items to scam sites and then crying that Valve didn't protect them or give the items they gave away willingly back..
Not sure how do you feel about that but to me that is logical. A company is not at fault for you giving away your stuff willingly.
And a lot of people crying about not getting refunds after 2 hours (in my country you have a few days when you buy something after that you can't return it) so for me that is normal to have a time limit..
P.S. First time I heard of this site I will be honest

Realism after writing several times to support because I couldn't redeem a Portal 2 gift I got from a friend who bought a 4-pack from Steam store.
Their response was that the friend who lived right next door to me and used same student housing LAN with only last IP number being different is obviously a Russian reseller trying to scam me. That is after 3-4 times responding to the bot that pastes you parts of the rules that are totally irrelevant to the problem.

Did you watch him buy the 4-pack from the Steam Store on his account? Considering Steam hasn't offered packs for a couple years now this has to be BEFORE Steam enacted the MORE STRICT region-restrictions that exist now. If you didn't see him and the product was region-restricted then yes, it's 99.9% likely that your friend bought a cheap copy and either doesn't understand how Steam works or just lied to you either implicitly or innocently.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes I did since the whole thing started when we were talking about fun MP games to play when drinking beer, while drinking beer. And obviously this happened when Portal 2 was a new thing. The other 2 copies he gave to other friends worked just fine, just not mine.
Stop making up silly stuff about people you have no idea about, the friend buys tons of games for PC and PS3/4 and has never used any even gray market sites to buy them. Some people work and get paid so they can do that :)

Making up silly stuff? I made no judgemental claims of anything about anyone merely provided facts on what could happen in reality (not anecdotal stories) -- you getting defensive does imply some form of doubt or falsehood in your statements though.
Anyways, I'm just telling you how things actually work; speaking from the inside. I'd never trust the recollection of a drunk person's drunk memory and if that seems like a valid supply of information to you then I fear for you and wish you the best.
Take care.

You claimed my friend was a 99.9% likely to be a scammer, can't get sillier than that.
I told you what actually happened in reality and you started saying other stuff, that can be only made up.
Also claiming beer even gets you drunk makes all your comments obsolete.
1) We sit at friend's place and have couple beers
2) We discuss fun MP games and Portal 2 appears on some Steam holiday sale ad
3) Friend buys 4-pack, sends 2 to other friends who get them fine, 1 to me
4) I go home later and try to activate it, getting random error
5) I spend lots of time and several messages to support, who after 5-6 times telling them the same thing activate it on my account
So where from that do you get that my friend is a Russian reseller, I sure don't and neither did Steam support AFTER they finally bothered to check and not just paste rules.

English comprehension lesson: No where in the statement "it's 99.9% likely that your friend bought a cheap copy and either doesn't understand how Steam works or just lied to you either implicitly or innocently" does it say he's a scammer. Then again, I don't expect someone from Finland to understand how English actually works.

LOL You're really making me laugh now, reusing every non-common word from my last post in your reply.
"Nothing you post is based on anything that happened in reality, only your own twisted dreams where you seem to imagine everyone else is a liar and scammer because you are one."
It's even more hilarious you think I'm a scammer considering all I did was tell you how things actually work in relation to region-restriction, considering I'm a Steamworks developer and you're just another random person of hundreds of millions who plays games.
I could sit here and draw lines for each one of your statements that hold no weight: i.e. You say, "So you're totally unable to provide any logic or reason for your lies." after I've already said, "Considering it's part of my job to know how these things work, pretty sure I'm more qualified on the subject than you but it seems that logic is too difficult for you to understand?" which implies you don't understand logic and then attempt to tell me the same thing. But as you do it in EVERY reply that'd take too many words that you probably wouldn't comprehend -- probably just like this post -- it goes way over head it'd seem and that's very sad to me when something so simple is so hard for someone.
Please, do continue replying though because everyone here on-site loves laughing at stupid posts. :D

I never said you're a scammer, I just told you how projecting your own feelings works since you don't seem to get it.
If YOU imagine you're a scammer, YOU see everyone else as scammer as well. Got that?
Oh you're a SteamWorks Dev, should we worship you as a god or put you in the same bin as Digital Homies etc?
See how little your silly title means in reality and stop trying to use it to win lost arguments.
Let's make it clear so that even you can understand it since logic clearly isn't strong in you:
1) I say A happened
2) You claim A never happened and instead B or C
3) I tell you nope, just A is possible
4) You claim obviously B or C since you're a SteamWorks Dev so your word is the absolute truth!!!
And yes please continue, I'm having great fun on your expense as is everyone else here that can actually use their brain for thinking. But at least try to use logical arguments instead of made up BS you came up with on the fly.

Why are people bumping this thread?
The OP has horrible SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and had his account rekt, that doesn't mean there's any form of Steam vulnerability as the title suggests and is causing constant views/replies.
If you read the OP's replies to other users you can tell he has no technical knowledge and seems to be a teenager.
EDIT: P.S. The OP is also apparently a liar because you [or a thief] can't turn off Mobile Auth and then send your items away as he describes -- there is a 7-day hold placed on the account before you can make trade offers after enabling or disabling Mobile Auth. As well in order to confirm trades with Mobile Auth off and 7-day hold expired they'd need access to the e-mail account to confirm trades via SteamGuard -- as well they'd never even be able to sign on the account without direct access to the e-mail account after disabling Mobile Auth.
Comment has been collapsed.
after reading some parts of this thread.... I kinda agree this this ^ Stole cards, but left all tradable\sellable items from cs:go or TF2? Stole 21$ but no trace of any bought\traded\sold items? You can't just transfer money to someone from steam wallet, you know. Plus as was said - to trade items you need to confirm the exchange via mobile auth, and to trade them without this procedure you need to disable it, which will lead to trade hold. soooo....
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I believed him at first but now I'm skeptical, usually with these kinds of situations hackers go for tradable items from MP games first, not trading cards or wallet. And after reading through the discussion I still don't see how you can do something like that without access to the phone but he kept denying it and blame Steam Auth entirely instead. I don't trust Valve 100% either but if something like this is possible shouldn't we hear more about it? Anyway if it's true my condolescences to OP but I'll remain skeptical.

i had no idea they stole items till someone told me to check trades they did in fact take quite a lot i just didnt know it i didnt think items were tradeable at all without gaurd but they managed it or got gaurd and then turned it off or something i think it has to do with intel security management

You ask me to use logic, amusingly after I brought up the fact that your logic was flawed.
It's obvious to anyone that finished even junior high that you don't know what the word means, since logic is technically a constant that is either valid or invalid -- not something that you can use as if there was an absence of it. As such I'd doubt you even understand the concept of reason either.
Your lack of English comprehension also seems to make you put words in other peoples mouth, because you can't understand what was even being communicated, which makes you look incredibly daft.

So is him buying the 4-pack from local Steam store as proven by it working for him and 2 other friends, also me after a long exchange about it with support. Since you're a STEAMGOD, go ask your friends to verify this if you want.
So is being in the same region and not having any restrictions for gifting when you live 10m away from each other.

You do that please.
"Anecdotal evidence is an informal account of evidence in the form of an anecdote. The term is often used in contrast to scientific evidence, as evidence that cannot be investigated using the scientific method. "
Yet everything I claimed can be verified with the scientific method of just checking Steam logs for purchases, gifts and support tickets involving this.
What scientific method can you use to back up your claims about other people you still don't know anything about?
Comment has been collapsed.
LMFAO OMG This is hilarious!
How about the science of programmatic methods and SQL db queries? Which is likely what Valve used and saw you were without any merit. Remember, they didn't help you.
Your claims are anecdotes, unless you can provide those logs which Steam doesn't even say exist considering they never helped you.
Think about it, if you can think beyond your drunk stupor: 4 products were generated from the same algo, let alone the same pack, and you claim 1 was magically restricted to RU/CIS when the region-restrictions didn't even exist like that when Portal 2 was released. Again, that's why Steam didn't help you: because your claim was false.

It is anecdotal, as in it's a personal experience as narrated by someone. However, it can also be true, and therefore factual. You are forcing the distinction between the two, implying you to believe his personal experience is made up, and therefore a lie. Your claim of "99.9% lying friend" isn't a fact or even anecdotal, its just a random number you pulled out. So basically you called him and his friend liars, not surprised he would get annoyed at the "silly stuff". Ad-libbing a bit here.

I don't, but you seem to imply you're super important and always right because you're part of some neverheard company that only makes money on Steam market it seems.
Stop trying to use that to win lost arguments already and I'll stop making fun of it.

You love putting words in peoples mouths huh? Must be your only defense to living a pointless existence.

Stop saying the words if I you don't want them in your mouth. And reread all the posts where only proof of your superiority is you being a SteamWorks Dev.
No logic or reason from you yet so I'll have to leave you for now, this is getting boring even. If you come up with any logical argument that doesn't include attacking me based on your lies and assumptions, please do so meanwhile and we could finally have an actual discussion. Otherwise have a good day.

Yes, I agree you've become boring, this much is true. You started with slight amusement but had no substance behind your troll.
You can keep making up things and think I said them (whether you truly believe your lies, no one cares), and repeat over and over vocabulary terms I've said that you had to google to understand; still all laughing at you and having a merry holiday season. :D

Let's reread again and see who starts insulting who shall we?
Why are you unable to answer this with anything but more insults?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't consider it an insult to mention your self-admitted issues, such as being mentally disturbed via bronyism (or jacking off to cartoons) or being an alcoholic. Those are your problems that you advertise on your profile and in your posts for everyone to see. If you consider it an issue to be called out on what you're advertising, I can only recommend such as I've done earlier: that you get professional medical help.
Comment has been collapsed.
There you go still just spouting personal insults and assuming this and that with no logic.
Please provide scientific evidence of me jacking off to cartoons or ponies?
Please provide scientific evidence of me being an alcoholic?
You're still the one full of BS, taking random stuff and then adding your own assumptions and projections on top and then shouting to everyone that's the new and only truth.

Ok seems like I broke it now, it got stuck on meme pictures thinking this is Imgur or something. I don't need any more of those since they aren't even that good, so until you come up with any logical arguments, have fun. I'll rather waste more time by watching some TV.

I don't believe either of you are accomplishing anything by continuing this.
Perhaps you should both consider taking a step back and chilling out a bit before continuing.
Just saying. Some other dude's account getting rekt isn't worth all this, regardless of what happened.

You just said, "I never had any illusions of accomplishing anything other than wasting some time."
Wasting time, or wasting anything, is not logical.
Therefore you're not logical.
That conclusion is called perfect logic.
P.S. Seems all you do is waste peoples time.

Time goes by at the same rate no matter if you do something or not.
Wasting time is what it's usually called when you do something, often fun, with the time that's not productive. Might as well use the time for something while waiting for morning, since I woke up at very early hours. There you go, now you can have one actually valid thing to call me: insomniac.
[1261-ROAN-1533] [aeca5aa6] there's a scientific Steam support ticket number for you for this case from 2013.
Now what happened to 90% of your posts, got too ashamed by them?

You realize, since Steam didn't give you the game, that it DIDN'T go the way you say?

Their response was that the friend who lived right next door to me and used same student housing LAN with only last IP number being different is obviously a Russian reseller trying to scam me. That is after 3-4 times responding to the bot that pastes you parts of the rules that are totally irrelevant to the problem.
Hmm?

Yes? And after that when I complained more they said the message you quoted as in error and fixed the problem. What is so hard to get about this?

If it was actually a replacement and Steam was in error it would be a replacement license that says "Retail". Since it wasn't a retail replacement and simply a complimentary license addition, it'd seem like 4 months of complaining to the Steam Support Staff in 2012/2013 which amounted to less than a dozen people that actively processed tickets at the time, proves nothing other than complaining for long enough can reward you with what you want.

So now you know better than Steam support who gave me the game finally after the long process. It was added to my account by support staff because the gift was bugged like I said and they confirmed it.
I don't think anyone needs more proof of how full of shit you are.

Must suck being alone, as no one has come to support your claims but multiple other users have validated mine.

Your instinct to think I'm an asset flipper just goes to show your lack of reverence for the people that make the games you play.

Comment has been collapsed.
Awesome! More proof you have no idea what you're talking about -- straight from your own words! :D
Let me explain some basics to you:
Steam Marketplace =/= Steam Store
Steam Marketplace is where in-game items are bought/sold by Steam users like trading cards, emotes, backgrounds, CSGO skins, etc.
Steam Store is where you buy games from Valve.
An asset is just a useful object. You can call a person that helps you do something an asset. You can call a hammer an asset. I was referring to items in the Steam Marketplace, as I said and you so retardedly misunderstood, that sell every day all day and provide percentage cuts to me and Valve. The fact the term asset is so tiny in scope to you that it makes you think all usages of the word asset is related to asset flipping is just vapidly depressing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Except nobody calls crap on Steam Market assets except you, this is what game asset means to everyone else:

No, it's not. Unless you consider 17,000 people to be a secret club. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks
However it is what plebeian randoms like yourself think it is because of lacking technical knowledge on the subject.
Literally I showed you what Valve/Steam calls them, and you link to some random wikia. Done with this now, you're a fucking worthless human being -- real talk.
Comment has been collapsed.
What 17k people call something is still totally irrelevant to how the word is used in common English for the 7bil+ people that aren't in that club. Clear sign of your superiority right? It has nothing at all to do with technical knowledge and all to to with linguistics.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, 7 billion sure is close to "Approximately 330 to 360 million people speak English as their first language."
Considering those 17,000 people are the ones that make the games you play and can call the objects in their games whatever they want and their word is God in relation to some random person like yourself calling it something else that doesn't even know what those objects are (technically, as in lack of technical knowledge, like yourself). I could provide examples (such as Kleenex/Tissue, Xerox/Photocopy) but you'd just dismiss them and continue to act like the worthless peon that you are. :)

In online debating, is attacking one's spelling evidence of "defeat"?
Answered 152w ago · Author has 201 answers and 2.6m answer views
Yes. If you feel the need to rely on semantics and spellings, it surely signifies your lack of reasoning into the argument.On top of that, you would be like nails on a chalkboard, annoying, irrelevant and probably even cheeky. Analogous to what they say, in a conversation, do not raise your voice, improve your argument, in an online debate do not be someone's spell-checker, improve your reasoning.
I'm not wasting my time re-explaining what can be learned from just reading what was already typed with at least a basic understanding of English.
You failed at that much so no doubt you'd fail again and just keep wasting everyone's time which you already admitted is your only goal here.
You can't even discern the difference between a fact and an anecdote -- what hope would there be in you understand any complex concept?
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't attack it at all, just pointed out how the typo made it sound totally opposite which was funny.
So now that you've read some guidelines for debating, could you finally explain how and why my logic was bad instead of throwing more and more insults that tell more about your than anything else.
My goal is still wasting time online until morning happens and I can go grocery shopping. But that's not really related to the logic of things is it? That's why I'm here arguing with you, not why I say the things I say.
I already provided you proof of the facts confirming my story to be true. You haven't provided anything except your own misguided opinions.

Cool, you lack the spine to stand up for your own actions and lack the brainpower to construct cohesive debate or even worthwhile content.
All you've done is parrot my words as others have pointed out, a classic and unskilled trolling tactic employed by teenagers like yourself 'round the world, and it's only entertaining for so long. Since you're just repeating yourself like a broken record with nothing interesting to say or valid arguments to make; I bid you adieu.

Where did I not stand up for my own actions, please specify?
I already told you several times that since you are unable to provide any kind of actual logical arguments, I'll just keep flinging your BS back to you.
So for the final time: can you please start talking in a calm and logical way and show me some actual logical error instead of just making vague claims and obvious lies?
Comment has been collapsed.
It's so sad, I hope you don't have any kids or any people that rely on you because it'd be unfair to them.
Honestly, it seems like you have some symptoms of autism, like repeating certain words over and over especially after someone else has already said them (it's called "echolalia" and "scripting"), as well Asperger's lack of cordiality and if you're not diagnosed on the spectrum you should see a specialist. I say this as a part-time certified IHSS worker (taking care someone with severe autism for several years).
Comment has been collapsed.
Ever consider it might be because English isn't my first language and my vocabulary might not be as broad as other people's? But what's a troll like you to do but use that as yet another personal attack.
Or the fact that I told you over an hour ago already that I'm doing it fully on purpose since you don't seem to get anything else, so maybe that might get through. Stop saying BS and I stop repeating same BS back to you, problem solved.
What kind of autism do you have then when you can't answer any of my questions like:
"can you please start talking in a calm and logical way and show me some actual logical error instead of just making vague claims and obvious lies?"
Why is it so hard to answer that and actually discuss about something?
Comment has been collapsed.
Are you so out-of-it that you can't comprehend I was advising you that YOU might HAVE AUTISM?

I can understand your weak personal attacks much better than you obviously, I just ignore or mirror them.
I ask for calm and logical discussion and that's your response, that is a clear sign of autism if anything.
Grocery store is opening so I'll go hunt for breakfast before continuing to toy with you, unless you can actually think of a logical argument first time in your life.

No problem, everyone can have their own opinion. I just wish people who claim to understand even basic logic could use it when asked and not hide their lies behind personal attacks. But every and each time I ask for logical reasoning, I get more and more insults. If the response would be to show me the error of my logic, that would make me happy, but alas it never is.

Textual regurgitation at it's worst. Myself as well as others have already pointed out numerous flaws in your attempt at logic.

You're a liar. You can't trade items immediately after disabling Mobile Auth as you claim. Better next scamming next time buddy!

What does that have to do with anything? Nothing. For him to trade anything with Mobile Auth off 7 days would've already had to pass. Man it's straight mind-boggling how people stupid as you are able to survive in this world.

21 is the amount of wallet credit they stole they took well over a hundred dollars in cards and tf2 items.

Can you post a screenshot of the email (mostly the date/time) saying that your 2factor authentication has been disabled ?
[again being careful to blockout any sensitive info]
Most of the people calling you a liar right now, are basing that on the claim your 2auth was turned off somehow BEFORE the trades were made. The bigger scope of the claim means way more skepticism.
It seems far more likely that you're mistaken about the timeline. I suspect that because you received the email before noticing the trades, you probably processed the order of events as the same way without noticing the email's timestamp.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was wrong i just got time stamps that said it was wrong and that the email was sent at the right time rather than the usual 10 minute wait
Also support is now out right lying to me steam should be taken to court because this is theft think about it if it was a credit card on file they would have to refund every last penny
Also being that the time stamps are correct that means intel security management is hacked and i have no idea how to get rid of this bloatware pc ruining trash

I just had everything stolen from my steam account all my money 21 dollars i had for the steam sale gone down the fucking drain.
No idea how they got my password possibly some site linked to my steam account got leaked or a lucky guess either way my Christmas is ruined and years of cards emoticons and backgrounds are now lost
It seems that those who have access to your steam account ie password cracking/breaches/guessing can now turn off 2 step verification and take everything and anything because i had the mobile authenticator and got an email stating that it had been turned off even though whoever did this could have had no access to my authenticator to verify themselves
so don't buy any steam wallet cards ever keep your steam account at zero dollars or 2 cents as 2 cents cant be spent on the community market where they can blow everything and valve seems to refuse to give you refund option for it
and make sure to not use the mobile authenticator ever as i personally at least never had any issues with email verification but mobile seems to slip up and let some things go through without a second verification i noticed this myself and thought nothing of it because i had used steam on my browser on my computer before
sorry if this is long and rambly im just having an awful time the steam sale was all i was looking forward to this christmas and that was ruined and all the emoticons i worked on gathering for years were just stolen like it was nothing OH AND THE ASS LEFT ME WITH ONE EMOTICON ITS FUCKING DEVIOUS FROM SURUGI WITH THE DESCRIPTION I'LL ERASE IT ALL, EVERYTHING! sigh HE HAD TO RUB IT IN WHAT AN ASSHOLE YOU HAVE MY MONEY YOU DESTROYED ALL MY SHIT AND YOU LEAVE ME WITH THIS UGGG sigh
TLDR Dont have money on your steam account and never ever use mobile verification
UPDATE they got in through intel securtiy managment a bloatware peice of software that came with a bios update i also cant figure out how to get rid of it. My time on the email was also spot on rather than 10 minuites late like i had thought
New TLDR steam support is trash and Intel put what is essentially a hackers dream into my bios
