Steam servers hacked

[em]

Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users:

Our Steam forums were defaced on the evening of Sunday, November 6. We began investigating and found that the intrusion goes beyond the Steam forums.

We learned that intruders obtained access to a Steam database in addition to the forums. This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still investigating.

We don't have evidence of credit card misuse at this time. Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely.

While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised, all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other accounts you should change those passwords as well.

We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password.

We will reopen the forums as soon as we can.

I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Gabe.

Pana la urma tot io spart...

Dupa ce au incurajat in mod constant utilizatorii sa isi lase cardul la indemna lor, ca e sigur (Steam wallet) acum vin sa ne spuna ca baza de date a fost compromisa (bine, erau criptate datele bancare, cica).

Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely

ah, ai fost mai rapid.

sunt curios cum au reusit

[flyhigh]

aveam si eu steam de la ei platit cu cardul. i-am dezactivat optiunea de plati online si va sfatuiesc sa faceti la fel. e mai sigur asa, pt. ca nu cred ca erau criptate.

Daca imi pierd contu de steam fac crima.

Le-au rupt jmenu'

Nu iti pierzi nimic, stai calm.

E imposibil ca datele sa nu fi fost criptate. Daca toate site-urile de mana a doua au ajuns sa foloseasca md5 si salt-ul vietii, e logic ca se cripteaza tot. Am inteles ca datele cartilor au fost hash-uite in sha256. Orice ar fi, urat.

[kasmir]

Pai daca ar fi criptate sha256 sau md5 atunci de ce ne-am mai face probleme

Sigur pentru datele bancare aveau metoda propie de criptare, iar daca metoda de criptare era asa sigura precum si serverele lor, este clar akm ne ramane sa ne cumparam cardurile ) le vedem la vanzare cu 5-10 $ !!

Ps: Eu sunt sigur ca a fost vandut ca pont, dar nimeni nu cred ca va putea demonstra.

Este o diferenta intre criptare si rezumare.

Datele nu puteau fi criptate cu md5 sau sha256.

Tu ai impresia ca aia au luat db-ul pentru contul tau de steam ala nu valoreaza nimic pentru nimeni, stai calm nu ai de ce sa-ti faci probleme, fa-ti probleme de datele bancare ale tale sau poate ale parintiolor ca presupu ca inca nu ai 18 ani
