Nope.

  • usernames;
  • e-mail addresses, including PayPal address for those that have it added;
  • billing address, including real names;
  • purchase history;
  • wishlists;
  • inventories, badges and achievments;
  • current wallet funds;
  • last 4 digits of CC numbers;
  • and last digits of phone numbers.

More than enough for social engineering into accounts or over any other services that had enough info leaked and blah, blah, blah.

Steam guard status was also leaked (so if you have not turned it on, well, someone out there might know about it).

Passwords didn't get leaked so it should be safe.

Uhm, what exactly has happened? Steam's database got hacked or what? Sorry, I wasn't following the news lately

Steam caching services went nuts because of something that a DDoS attack on their servers triggered, so personal account info from anyone that was online during this was publicly available for 1~2 hours until they shut down the whole services to fix this.
