For PayPal users who have authorized Steam to make preapproved payments...
PayPal -> Settings -> Payment settings -> Click "Preapproved payments" Link -> Cancel Steam Store in the list
...just to be safe.

Add this, from Steam Database: "Once again, unlinking your PayPal account from Steam via the PayPal site alone is fine. Unlinking through Steam is NOT."

I checked my PayPal, and even though I have it as the preferred payment method in Steam, it didn't show Steam as linked in my PP account. I went ahead and changed my PP password all the same. I'm hoping that's enough to keep me safe?

I changed my PW there too. Not sure if it makes any diff but better safe than sorry.

NM, I found the right place in PP and cancelled Valve's authorization, so I feel safer about that. Now if somebody steals the twelve bucks in my Steam wallet there'll be hell to pay!!! :D

Please don't take the 24p in my account.
But on a serious note, I haven't been able to access anything apart from my library for a good few hours. Happy I haven't got my PayPal or CC linked to my account or I would be bricking it.
Has anyone here actually had anything bad happen to them because of this like Steam wallet funds going etc?
Comment has been collapsed.
Good question. I have yet to see any real victim of this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well that's what I'm afraid of. Been keeping an eye on my balance and it hasn't changed, but I also changed my password and just deauthorized Valve from using it for purchases.

There is a hacker group called SkidNP and they promised to attack steam on christmas.(Their friends called Phantom Squad attacked Origin yesterday) Well they werent lying. DDoS-ed the steam servers and sent fake requests to the server and it responded back with what it had (thats why you saw random peoples account)

Nice thing to hear – we are living in a world, where even hackers keep their promises :')

Wonder what would've have steam done if people actually had access to other accounts' credit card infos.
Comment has been collapsed.
it is a steam anomaly... have you tried out putting the first letters of each language together to receive a secret message that tells you where Gaben-secret-base is? You have been chosen! And I am absolutely not stealing Interstellar's plot right now, no, :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, your steam accounts are visible for other persons...
Hmm that would not have happened if you used the new steam mobile certificator ;)
Perhaps it is all just a dick move by Gaben himself?
Comment has been collapsed.
It would happen, and does. Mobile certificator isn't worth jackpoop here.

It's GabeN from the future introducing us to cross-region-platform play.

I didn't notice it, until someone on my friendlist asked if it was doeing weird stuff for me, so I checked and the currency kept changing and so was the language. I just logged out just in case. Hope they'll resolve the issue soon.

If steam wasn't DDOS attacked, which server is being attacked by China right now?

Now, Steam is been around long enough to have gathered quite an impressive amount of money, now, if they just invest some of it on deserved safety and performance, instead of, for instance:
wow! I cannot believe how hard it was to find an actual GIF of this, something so simple and commonly known XD
*yeah it's broken, the person that did it didn't do a very good job, but believe it or not, it was the ONLY one animated I've found!
**last pic, I mean, if THEY can learn...... XD XD
So, yeah, did you found out that you could see it as IF you were logged in as another person? I couldn't because it always showed black screen for me, but friends told me they could, some even tried BUYING with their (estranger's account) money! Faith in humanity, lost, faith in Steam? I'll leave this one to you guys

Oh! I get it now! yeah I can relate, haha I guess you can see it that way, human nature..
I can swear I wouldn't had tried myself tho, too wary of the consequences of such bad actions, I follow my own code, and there is always consequences. Thanks for the clarification!

I just experienced a rather worrying anomaly in steam.
I was using my browser and just browsing the store page, when I noticed that my avatar had changed. Worried that I got hacked, I checked my profile, and found out that I was logged in as another user (someone from South Africa who I had never heard of). Went back to the store page and found myself logged out, but the storepage was in Finnish. Tried to switch back to English and then it was suddenly in Russian. I've been logged in on the steam client as well, and nothing changed there. Same avatar, no messages about someone trying to log in on my account or anything like that.
