Every time I check, it's a new random person's account. I've had potential access to 8 people so far

 

[CoG]

Hitting refresh and cycling through a number of people's accounts. How does this happen?

 

[Baleoce]

Is this Gabens interpretation of secret santa?

 

[kami_sama]

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

I hope valve reverses every single purchase made with your account and everyone else's.

 

[arts&crafts]

oh shi I have 43$ in my account!

 

[Head.spawn]

I see some Brazilian guys account in mine.

Holy shit Gaben. wtf did you do? Now maybe it's time to overhaul this Frankenstein piece of shit?

He even has Steam Guard.

edit: oh shit, so it's cycling through accounts now.

 

[dickroach]

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

nope. I actually got a new user when I go to account settings now

 

[XiaNaphryz]

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

I was never even able to log into account details until just now. Never saw any weirdness other than that thankfully. Email looks right so noone messed with changing anything, and purchase history looks fine.

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

This is horrible. I tried it and got someone else's account info.

 

[owasog]

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

Check it again. Seems to be randomly mine or someone elses.

 

[Brashnir]

Now I'm getting error code -310 on everything. Maybe they finally shut it down?

edit - nevermind, it's back and still fucked.

 

[iNvid02]

its a new person's details every time you click the account info tab, doesn't help that there is some visible info which could help an attacker get into the account. fuck me

shut it down gaben

 

[Bebpo]

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

Now it's back up and I'm back in other people's accounts again WTFFFF

Was better when this shit was shut down. Fuck.

 

[Pancakes]

I had my profile for a few seconds and deleted my card info, wtf is going on?

 

[E_Darkness]

I really hope I didn't have my payment details attached. I feel like I delete each time but I could've forgotten.

 

[Proven]

Okay, I thought something bad happened to just me. Glad to see its everybody.

Except this is terrible!

 

[petethepanda]

How have they not just taken this shit offline yet?

 

[DarKshodaN]

wow first i was in a russian account now in a german account, i maked screenshots from it if anyone don't believe me, this is fucked up.

 

[Reebot]

What an unbelievable fuck up.

I was finally able to go in and confirm I have no saved payment info, but this is beyond unacceptable.

 

[Parallacs]

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

You usually click where your $X.XX is on the upper right. However, since it now takes you to some random person in the world, you can't do it.

 

[dmr87]

I'm literally cycling through other peoples accounts.

I don't even.

 

[Memorabilia]

Pretty glad I only ever used paypal

Yeah this is why I only use PayPal for online purchases. I'm not a fan of how PayPal conducts itself in multiple ways, but by default they do provide an extra layer of security. Presumably, even with a PayPal account linked to Steam there's no way to make purchases on the account without being able to log into Paypal as well. In this case, the main threat from this type of attack is general chaos...a certain percentage of maladaptive randoms might screw with accounts...like stealing games that are saved as gifts by "gifting" them, removing games from libraries just to fuck with people, etc....

I'm thinking most gamers aren't thieves or assholes, so most will not harm another's account. But there's always the bad apples who just want to watch the world burn. Which is precisely what the hackers intended with this move if I had to guess.

 

[ViciousDS]

Just checked my paypal and valve/steam isn't even an approved payment. You must have that setup only when you save the info. I enter all my info on every purchase.

 

[Syf]

Just called my card company and blocked all Steam transactions for now. Incredible fuck up by Valve.

 

[qa_engineer]

Sony must be relieved to hear its not a PSN meltdown. Fix this shit Valve.

 

[-Opaque-]

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

Still happening here

 

[GoldandBlue]

Funny, I always use Steam cards to add funds and avoided using my credit card. I was about to use it this sale but thank God I didn't.

 

[nin1000]

the HELL is going on !

 

[hitmon]

I'm noticing this as well. WTF Valve?

 

[kami_sama]

How have they not just taken this shit offline yet?

The most sensible temporal solution.

 

[Conflict NZ]

I'm in New Zealand and it's happening here too, this is fucking insane, why is steam still even up?

 

[hobblygobbly]

I'm actually getting a lot of diff accounts now, got 12 diff ones so far. Crazy. I just keep on refreshing it and get a new account each time. At first I was only getting two diff ones constantly, now I am getting new ones.

 

[EricTheCleric]

Steam guard does not seem to be working since the person I am logged into has steam guard enabled...

 

[Jolkien]

I have the same issue.

 

[Grief.exe]

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!

I know it's difficult for people to think big picture on certain things, but can you think what day it is?

 

[Kezen]

Nice of Valve to make me meet new people. I'm becoming more social thanks to them !

 

[Vamphuntr]

Every time I click account details in the client I get a random account. Seems to be database related.

 

[Rhaknar]

well I just canceled my card just in case

 

[T.O.P]

How have they not just taken this shit offline yet?

Seriously wtf

 

[RyanW]

So because of this I'm assuming there's no way to change your personal info including payment options?

 

[Gareth Bale]

Whoever is logged into my account can you do me a favour and remove my card details

Thx

 

[Felix Lighter]

I can't believe they haven't taken the site offline yet.

 

[jmga]

It does not seem anything serious, I'm logged in with another user account name but I can't see his profile and when I try to buy something it successfully retrieves my data(email, paypal account, etc), not the ones from the other account.

 

[Ardenyal]

I would really love to check my account details to make sure my card wasnt on there. FUUUCK

 

[Iadien]

I was wondering wth was going on, I was browsing and the language was changing from russian to spanish. lol

 

[Drencrom]

FFS, just shut down the servers, valve!

 

[Steel]

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

It's possible that your account was added to the list and other people are viewing it too. Apparently steam is suggesting you log the fuck out.

 

[Zomba13]

Also getting a new user here. Still not my own info. Community seems to be down BUT NOT ACCOUNT INFO/STORE

 

[ViewtifulJC]

digital future tho

 

[jett]

It's drastic, but they should probably just shut down the servers completely right now.

Drastic? This is the only move these imbeciles should do.
