My steam is now in French. And I have different stuff in my inventory. This is almost hilarious...

 

[Vincent4756]

Shut. It. Down. Jesus this is the first major screw up by Steam correct?

 

[Xando]

Guys i got a account with Half Life 3 access.

 

[hodgy100]

Well shit. I assume no one is in office :S

 

[tjohn86]

They need to drop a deny all on their edge network asap. This is crazy.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

So what should I/we do? How do you remove cards and prevent purchases on your account?

I have $47.50 in mine :/

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

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

That's what I'm worried about right now

 

[dickroach]

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

Friday. everybody's workin for the weekend

 

[HappenstanceUK]

I am amazed Steam hasnt been taken down completely until this is sorted.

 

[Jintor]

Not what I wanted this Christmas gaben

 

[nin1000]

Store page is in french, OH LORD

 

[killer rin]

What the fuck is going on. Just removed my CC from my account.

I bought something earlier today at 1:40PM EST. Am I compromised now?

 

[Melter]

same issue here. i have my CC info saved on steam. how do i remove it?

 

[Bl@de]

I'm getting new users all the time. Steam should shut down the complete service. This is way too serious

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

i'm now rotating accounts

 

[fog]

Every time I restart Steam I get access to a different account.

What is this shit.

 

[His Majesty]

Just press the fucking red button already, jesus.

 

[kingocfs]

Website seems to be broken too, can't even login. Ya'll dun goofed.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Is this what that supposed ARG has been building up to? Maybe if we had daily deals this wouldn't have happened.

 

[T.O.P]

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

Thx

:lol

 

[dity]

So just like, exit the Steam client? Cos that's what I just did.

I went to try to see if I had this problem: Going to the store showed some random avatar with 1 wishlist item, couldn't access Account Details at all and Steam Community is down from my end.

 

[luminous]

Uh I think I removed this random account's card info thinking it was mine... I think I only had my paypal associated to it tho and I just removed whatever cards were linked to that.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

"Oh I know I'll go tweet @Steam Support to make sure somebody is working on this" Oh no there account hasn't posted in months. Such incompetence.

 

[Kouriozan]

On the website I got Bullet Ball's (not his full nickname obviously) account, but I wasn't connected and too scared to even try. On the client it's was my account anyway.

 

[fantomena]

Just logged out.

 

[benny_a]

Shut. It. Down. Jesus this is the first major screw up by Steam correct?

There was a forum security incident in 2011. But we don't talk about that.

 

[TyrantGuardian]

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.

This. Just do it asap.

 

[the-pi-guy]

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

While it is Christmas, not being able to use the store, and potentially losing money seems like it should be the priority.

 

[Disguises]

Well shit. I assume no one is in office :S

They'd still have to have someone on standby in case something like this shit happens. Can't believe they haven't shut down anything yet.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

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

Checked to see if making a purchase is possible and it's all grayed out so maybe they've blocked purchasing.

 

[DMTripper]

fyi: If you use paypal like I do for steam payments, you can go into your paypal account settings, then click preapproved payments, and find the one for Valve, and then cancel it.

Thanks just did this.

 

[kami_sama]

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

And does it matter today's Christmas? NOBODY can purchase anything to their own accounts. It won't affect valve more than it's already.

 

[strafer]

lol, im getting a different person every time

fuck Valve....shut it down

 

[Hale-XF11]

By the way, this is not a security breach. This is page caching gone rogue. Most likely not respecting Cache-Control headers.

[Turkoop]

Store page is in french, OH LORD

oh mate.. sorry

 

[woxel1]

Just refreshed and...

It's okay stumpo, your account is safe with me!

 

[Voysa Reezun]

Well, that explains why I was seeing prices in CDN for awhile there.

Things like this, along with making it harder for me to impulse buy, are why I never store my card information in Steam.

 

[Funyarinpa]

IS ANYONE ELSE GETTING DIRECTED TO A STORE PAGE WITHOUT BEING LOGGED IN

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Valve needs to shut everything down until they fix this shit.

Yeah seriously. This is fucked to shit.

 

[Vincent4756]

There was a forum security incident in 2011. But we don't talk about that.

Oh. Now I'm curious.

 

[Arren]

Now I'm getting an entirely different account than before and I can see this guy's info thoroughly.

This is REALLY absurd.

 

[CoG]

Well, everyone's account I am looking at has Stream Guard enabled. So they have that going for them, which is nice.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

oh, so don't use steam because then you'll see other peoples accounts

not, "don't use steam because then you'll be compromised"

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

What a nice Christmas present, Valve.

ffs

 

[Plum]

Managed to delete my card details leaving only Paypal in the one time I was able to get to my account.

This could be a major issue for Steam going forwards, and I mean "potential destruction" big.

 

[yatesl]

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but you don't need to worry about purchases on your account. If you try and add something to the basket in Steam, it doesn't.

That said, they can see your e-mail and last couple of digits of your card, which is obviously a security issue.

 

[RobNBanks]

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

we all know its just robots that work in the video game industry

no excuse

 

[Steel]

So what should I/we do? How do you remove cards and prevent purchases on your account?

I have $47.50 in mine :/

I'd imagine if you have any purchases today, your steam wallet will be fully refundable and then some. As for credit card.... They can't get the full number or CCV from steam. I'd worry more about identity theft from the email/phone number.

 

[Hidden One]

I cant even log in

 

[Tainted]

Checked my paypal account and nothing has been purchased on it (last time I was in steam, paypal wasnt asking for a password as it was setup as 'my paypal account')

Have no funds in steam wallet and no cc linked. Steamguard always been enabled....hopefully this shit gets sorted. Cannot login to steam at the moment
