No doubt you've already seen this if you use Steam or Steam Forums, but I noticed this in the Update News popup. So far it doesn't seem to be in any of the news-related forums or front page, despite being probably important in the recent Steam Forums lockdown story.

EDIT: Or I'm just fucking blind and terrible at using Google.

Hackers strike again. Seriously, what is up with internet security these days?

This is the first I've heard of these. There really should be some kind ofn notice in Steam itself rather than relying on me to randomly get to know this on a forum.

Gabe Newell is nothing if not great at damage control. Thankfully, there's nothing here to really worry about (username, game purchases, email addresses can be found even without hacking and hashed/salted passwords are nigh impossible to get, especially when being hunted down by people who've noticed an intruder). I'm a bit worried about the credit information, but I doubt that Valve is using a half-assed encrypter.

I'm not worried.

pro tip: if at any point an apology has a "we apologize for the inconvenience" statement in it, it's an artificial apology.

So the real question is what's the name of the PR guy who wrote it for Gabe?

It was a pop up window on Steam.
Well, nothing's popped up on my end.
