iPlayer Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 They are not my accounts! Whenever I click on my funds amount in steam client (near to your login), I get teleported to somebody else's account info, containing their account information, including their last credit card numbers, phone number and their full e-mail address! My friend is experiencing the same issue right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weedoof Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Yeah, steam is shitting itself lately. Nobody has any idea why yet. I'm guessing it has something to do with the amount of steam card codes entering the system, but that's just a guess. Bottom line, don't try to do anything involving money or markets until you can consistently access your own account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFFIRMATIVE Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I don't mind this too much currently as i don't plan to purchase stuff, the only thing i'm worried is if i have to change my account details because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPlayer Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 By the way, this is not a security breach. I see information like credit cards, e-mail, phone numbers and all their licenses, how's that not a security breach? It all at least falls under 'sensitive information'.

It all at least falls under 'sensitive information'. Thankfully only the last 2 digits of credit card and last 4 digits of phone numbers. I'm happy that I use Steam mobile now.

Buy my mixtape fam Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 So, from what I gathered, SDB reported it as a cache error. My guess as to what happened is that either some servers went down because of the load and were replaced with new/developmental servers, causing the cache to go mad, or an engineer who was working at the time saw the massive load coming in and tried to re-cache the servers too aggressively. either way, I feel bad for the developers at valve, spending their christmas dealing with this.

I can't give you the link unfortunately, but there was an successful attempt at hacking using this way: 1. Phone support of site A, say, Amazon, requires you to give them last 4 digits of your phone number in order to reset your password. 2. You go to gmail of the same person, click "Forgotten your password", then it shows you a message like "A confirmation has been sent to your phone (***) ****-****-12345" 3. You give site A the combination they want - "2345". Original article involved much more sites, one giving you last 4 phone digits, another one giving you first 5 phone digits etc, plus a lot of social engineering aimed at tech support.

But...Don't you need their gmail password to access their emails...? And if you have that much, why not just use it on their steam account to start with? Most people use the same passwords everywhere anyway. And if you found one of the few people who don't do that you could just move on to the next and try again there.

#NewWizard Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Since there is none of my personal information saved on steam, I'm fine and expecting some free games from steam tomorrow. EDIT: Oh wait, my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
