If anyone has my account, can you buy Rocket League pls I was planning on doing that when I got home.

 

[cyba89]

That's some super-serious fuck up. Thank god I only use Paypal for payments on steam.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Wow, who would have guessed steam would be the one with Christmas network issues?

Not network issues, DB issues.

 

[Aselith]

Wow, who would have guessed steam would be the one with Christmas network issues?

That's not even network issues. People having access to other people's accounts in full accidentally is cataclysmic.

 

[The Elite]

Just got my own account when I went to account details!!!

Edit: Deleted my CC.

Edit 2: Now I have someone else's again. So glad I deleted mine!

 

[Nbz]

My account details are back to normal. Same happened for anyone else?

 

[Xamtheking]

I now have no problems with Steam Guard

 

[Tainted]

Kind of relieved to see this thread in a way....getting all the issues mentioned in the OP and thought my account was hacked in some way. This is crazy shit

 

[Haunted]

I'm relieved I didn't give Steam my phone number or credit card information. Changed my Paypal settings and I don't think there should be anything a user could do even with access to my steam account except try to refund games.

But this is still one of the most colossal security fuckups imaginable and the potential for shenanigans is fucking crazy. What a disaster.

 

[Hey_Blinkin]

Account I'm getting access to has a $20.03 balance on it, not gonna mess with it though. This is some weird shit.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Hi Steam this is a concerned member of your community.

I am concerned that you know what's going on in some form, yet have completely avoided telling people who know something is wrong that something is wrong.

I am concerned that you haven't explained what to do to ease my concerns or what I can possibly do to prevent something bad happening.

I am also concerned that you know something is wrong, say you are fixing it, say to avoid steam websites, yet leave steam servers online for me or anyone else to access.

Love - a concerned citizen

 

[vypek]

Decided to log out of steam community since different pages were breaking. Also, every refresh in what was supposed to be my account details lead me to a new account detail to view.

 

[johancruijff]

I can see a lawsuit coming from this the longer it goes on.

...not with a bang but a gift

 

[stump sock]

Account I'm getting access to has a $20.03 balance on it, not gonna mess with it though. This is some weird shit.

I bet that's the same one I just had.

 

[gdt]

Are your kidding me? This is insanity!

cheney43?

 

[Lautaro]

And just when the change of currencies forced me to stop using PayPal and give my credit card data to Valve. Fuck, I'm so mad!

 

[Gamesadict]

Seems to be fixed? Jesus.
EDIT: nope, broken again

 

[Parallacs]

Now I am getting new people each time I click.

 

[Soyongdori]

how's that even happening considering I can't even load the login page.


Are the accounts making purchases not protected by the mobile app?

I looked at the time, the purchases were made 25 mins before I opened my email 10 mins ago.

 

[Gabriel_Logan]

Nice I left Steam on downloading a game while I went to my Grandmas for Christmas. I'm fucked now.

 

[linko9]

Wow, this is... a pretty incredible mess-up. I see a different person's account every time I click 'account details' (of two times). Lots of people gonna get screwed over by this.

 

[CoG]

Just refreshed and got my account and was able to delete my credit card. I hope someone doesn't steal my fucking iPod earbuds hat.

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Yo fuuuuuuuuck all of this. Transferred all of my money to an account that's not linked to any of my bank cards. Jesus christ, Valve.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Let me take this moment to remind everyone that Origin™ is having an epic Winter Sale for all the holidays hottest titles, now with the #1 industry leading account protection!

 

[Tenebrous]

I e-mailed the guy who's info I see. I did the right thing, right?

 

[Dawg]

Steam is taking Secret Santa to the next level.

 

[Geg]

I honestly can't remember if I have payment info stored on steam or not. Last time I bought anything was Undertale back in September

 

[Arren]

Why don't they shut everything down instantly?

This is evidently becoming worse and worse as seconds pass. It's a blatant breach in security which is compromising an enormous amount of sensitive data, what the hell.

 

[McBryBry]

Just got into an account with $20 bucks in his balance. This is insane. How can I get my card off my account without my own account details...

 

[strafer]

Yup, I have some dude from Norway...this shit is not okay.

 

[KraytarJ]

It even does this on the app. The store page is American, I'm not, and I get some dudes account when trying to get to mine. How does this even happen?

 

[Duffman]

Now I am getting new people each time I click.

Same. This is fucking crazy

 

[Bunta]

Uh, now I'm seeing a lot more accounts. Not just 1-3...

 

[Cleve]

Still getting someone else's account both on the site and in client. What the fuck, valve.

 

[Nyoro SF]

This is a nightmare on Christmas. I can't log into my account to remove my payment details.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I can see my details again.

 

[Zomba13]

WHY IS THE STORE AND ACCOUNT PAGES AND EVERYTHING STILL UP

This is 100% the kind of thing you hit the big red "shut it down" button and shut it down. This isn't something like when there is a hack and stuff may have been taken and you email and say "change passwords".

This is (seemingly) random people having direct account access to accounts not belonging to them and being able to still use the store to buy shit or change account information. This is exactly the stuff you nuke the servers for to protect the customer.

But nah, we'll leave the servers up. Lots of people would have gotten steam credit today, gotta let them spend it!

 

[Lulubop]

My account details are back to normal. Same happened for anyone else?

Still getting other peoples account, actually getting multiple people now.

 

[Smokey]

Where can I remove card information? I do not see it under Account Settings?

 

[NHL94]

Same here. Email and CC keeps changing every refresh.

Not sure what to do.

 

[Arizato]

Guys! If you can, move all your money from the account tied to your Credit Card to another account not tied to anything. That's what I did, at least people cannot buy anymore games using my account.

 

[The Elite]

I had mine for a few seconds and deleted my CC info. Anyone get their own profile for a split second?

 

[MomoPufflet]

Cycling through random people's personal account details. This is pretty fucking serious. Hitting delete when I see payment methods but no idea if it's doing anything. It just cycles to a new account.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

BRING BACK THE FLASHES AND DAILIES!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I'm overreacting, but I'm getting PSN 2011 vibes here. Thankfully that incident taught me to never store CC information and to use unique p/w.

 

[vilmer_]

I was able to somehow refresh account details into my own and delete my cc from the account. Sure enough after one refresh I'm staring at some other guys account, with full personal information.

 

[shira]

My account details are back to normal. Same happened for anyone else?

Yeah but that's 2 hours from when this thread was started, so probably even longer

 

[doctorcdcs]

i first saw someone's account from brazil and now i'm seeing someone's account from turkey

 

[TheBowen]

Fucking hell just accessed some guys account with $150 on it. If dickheads get hold off accounts like these so many accounts are going to have there money spent

 

[T.O.P]

Now I am getting new people each time I click.

Same :/
