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.

Yeah, apparently steam gave me control over the profile of some guy who lives in Derussalem (Whereever the hell that is). Will update you later, when more shit happens. And no, I'm too scared shitless/staring in disbelief to do shit.

Edit: I'm somehow logged into Mobile as myself, and yet I can't log into the steam store.

Edit 2: All I see on the store page is Japanese symbols and yen price tags. I think I'm logged in as a Japanese user somehow, but I can't tell. Send help. Oh shit, the New Zealand price tags are coming for me!

This case is a strong reason against linking your credit card with a steam account. Of course I'm logged as someone else at the moment, can view his/hers purchase history, steam wallet, inventory, (also probably delete their games via steam support) etc. What's more interesting, some of my friends are logged on the same account as me...

If you are half serious, don't worry.
Remember what happened last year with gems? They took down the market for days and gave us a free copy of CS:GO.
Something similar is gonna happen but with the store this time.

Because their PPP is a lot lower.
That is the official story.

In reality they are giving them essentially a 60% discount from the base price (and of course any sale discount) so their 95%+ piracy rate may go down a little finally. After all, they are a large enough market to try to tame and lead to the world of legit software.

Posted this is another thread:

Seeing some person's account who has £10.53 of steam credit. He plays Maple Story and has made some in-game purcahses recently at $10 a pop.

Kind of worried about my own account now.

Yep. That is the actual problem here, not that somebody could buy anything with your Steam wallet. That is reversible.
