The site is down now. Good.
What we know so far
- Most likely an error in the way Steam caches pages.
- People are able to access random Steam profiles and see compromising information, account names, emails, last 2 digits of credit card, paypal email address, purchases, etc.
- No changes can be made to the effected account, no purchases can be made. Any evidence to the country is, as of yet, unsubstantiated.
- It's been advised to not access Steam URLs, including the client, until we have more information.
- Do not post account names you see, huge security risk.
I'll update this post with more information going forward.
They don'the have a " shut it down " button?
...what?
Steam guard means shit right now. This bypasses the log in process.The price in Euro, but I am using my own account, I already activated steam guard using phone.
You can't see full phone numbers, get outta here.
They can only see the last two numbers, the rest is xxx-xxxx-xxx
With the way the information is public and accessable by pretty much anyone?Is this the worst security breach in gaming history?
Can someone from the technical side explain why SteamDB would say this?
Shouldn't be quoted since its clearly not all true.
the site is down on my end

From what I can tell, here's the information that could be compromised:
last 2 digits of your credit card
Paypal email address
amount in your Steam wallet
last four digits of your phone number
account email address

If thye're running an online service like this, then someone is policing it.
But who forced the page caching error? The timing surely can't be a coincidence...
Not to mention the complete radio silence on Twitter. This is FUCKED.
