What is the use of hijacking accounts?
they can't rip the gamess off my account and attach them to theirs.. or can they?
And also I am wondering why I'm still logged into my SG-Account.

This is no WHAT SHALL I DO?:OO -tread. I already sent the support ticket, I'm just curios why they do that.

sg accounts stay logged in for a week or so before you have to check back with steam

they can't take your games but they can loot your inventory for things you didn't already or can't tie to yourself. unused gift copies, tf2 hats those sorts of things. (and if you saved a credit card to steam they may get access to that not sure)

edit- but didn't a recent update make it so you have to wait 30 days to transfer inventory or sell anything after logging in from a new computer to help prevent that sort of thing? i think people were complaining about that being annoying

Except of a fey cards, I didn't have much valuable things. And I'm not sure, if my brothers credit-card was tied to my account, he once bought something..

Do I need to prove ALL games I have? i've lost the information for some, also I din't have my brothers Card..

Maybe they just really want to caption your screenshots or edit your game recommendations.

New life goal: hack someone's account, alter all their carefully captioned screenshots.

Make a couple sensible trades, maybe greenlight some games...

This would be a great way to confuse a brother... If I had one.

Looks like it was someone I added during my Portal-Puzzles.. he's got a huge account, won't he get banned after doing things like that?

I wasn't expecting you to say that.

Anyway, good luck with Steam Support. You'll need it.

The main problem is that I have to access the Steam Guard EVERY time I login from my browser so I let my guard down after some time..

Lol that website. People selling their accounts filled with bundle games for thousands of dollars. I wonder if anyone is stupid enough to even try to buy these.

Do you know how ? Might be useful to know, so we can avoid it too.

I'm not sure if it would be calling out if I said his name but he said that he had a new account, I only wanted to check it out.. I didn't know that this is possible without accepting the request

Pretty good response time for steam support.
Any inventory missing? Any action taken against the guy?

Nope and nope:D I don't care that the guy didn't get banned. I think he isn't even responsible and got hijacked too or something.

But I've got everything back so I'm a really happy person now(:
