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.

You probably did, but it accidentally linked to someone else's account at the time you did it-
OH WAIT, NO, THIS ISN'T STEAM. =O

Okay, then I'm going back to my default answer of 'you were too drunk/sober at the time, to do it right' :'P

I'm currently staring at some poor user's American Express numbers. This is really, really bad. My account doesn't have credit card tied to it but I'm still no happier that some random person can see my details.

Don't panic? :D "By the way, this is not a security breach. This is page caching gone rogue. Most likely not respecting Cache-Control headers.". So why they also say: "The best way to protect yourself is to completely avoid Steam websites for now." :D

"Hey guys, sharing this post from a group:

Steam is experiencing some heavily troubling problems. There are widespread reports of people having their Steam language cycle randomly and many are randomly logged into other people's accounts.

Stay safe. This looks like a major security breach and we heavily advise everyone to stay logged into their accounts. Try not to turn off your PC's. Clear your store carts so that other people can't finish transactions with your info. "
