fuck you

nice damage control
This is all you need for identity theft.

>>321444994
you mean the last 4 digits of your card, and maybe phone numbers? that's nothing compared to what the morons in the sticky claim.
we'll probably get free games and stuff because of that.
or if you care so much about it and think your data got leaked, go sue them, i don't care, i just hate how this place is so filled with moronic man-child.
anyone saying this place is better than reddit is an utter moron, and i don't even brwose reddit

It says right there that credit card info is censored. Also who has their home address in their steam account?

>>321445660

It's a fucking billing address.

>>321444386

Oh god is that damage control from Steam?

It's because Totaliscuit is freaking about about this (as he should) so people are paranoid

>community moderator
What does he know? And it doesn't matter if certain things were censored. Full profiles and personal information were publicly accessible. It's not okay.

You literally can open a phone book and get the same info.

>>321445295
so 4 digit from a credit, and email adress you can't access and an home adress is enough to steal people's identity? you're pretty stupid aren't you?
saying nothing happened is an understatement, but calm down. hell, just declare your card as lost. or don't save your cards info in the first place

>>321445867
Doesn't that go under credit card info though?

>>321445981
There's literally no context to that information in a phonebook, though.

last 4 digits of a credit card is enough to hack plenty of accounts.
Just call up Amazon/Apple/Google or wherever and say you've lost your password and email. They will just ask you your birthday and last credit card digits and that's enough for them.

This has been proven repeatedly.

what about names, emails, and addresses?

fucking sjws

>>321446531
then what? you get a new crad mailled at the guy's house? and do you seriously use only one email adress for everything?
if you're so afraid, just declare your card as lost.

>>321446023
Not defending that tard but actually A home address and 4 digit credit card is exactly all I need to get in. you see with the email address given I now know where you store the real private stuff. So I take that info and contact gmail/yahoo/charter.net like mr. legoman5000.
Then with that info I can easily trick any min waged employee into giving me the true password and then with that I can look into your true email. PLUS I have your address which means I can find your zip code and other important things that you may happen to use as a possible password or what not to get into other things. You see all it really takes is an email,4 digit card to trick the bank and home address.
Have a nice day legoman 5000

I don't know why everyone is freaking out, it's impossible to see your CC info anyway other than maybe the last 2 or 4 digits or whatever it is. The only info that people can see is that and your address and email. No one can steal you money by knowing that.

You think you can just get away with that? Thats leaving the biggest money trail, a blind deaf nigger could find it

Even with a saved debit card on file they still need the 3 digit CVC code on the back of your card to buy anything

GENTLEMEN, BE BRITISH. It's just the cache going rogue, not a big deal actually.
Yes, a few transactions had been made with the wrong accounts, and someone found out he bought a copy of a game he didn't intend to buy. Yet after this happened they closed the store.
Nothing else can happen: no password reset, no credit card check, ecc.
Stop freaking out, you're just giving to the hacker group of losers the attention they want and don't deserve.

honestly my only problem with steam shitting itself is that I can't get my 20 cents from discovery queue cards

Steam is back including the store, looks like the ride is finally over, hope you enjoyed it. Valvecucks got rekt again and everyone went full dramaqueen shit for 2 hours.

Fun Christmas overall.

Can't get into my email account and the bank app on my phone won't accept my security code.

Also all the cash in my wallet has vanished and there's a man standing in my garden, just staring at me, grinning.

He has my face.

>having any credit card info tied to your account
Jesus Christ, why would you give up that kind of sensitive info just for a slight convenience when you buy a game every fucking once in a while?

>>321453015

SAME

>>321453464
Why do people buy directly from steam anyway? You can always get game codes on other sites for a cheaper price.

>>321451262
>there are only 9999 credit cards on the world

>>321448536
They aren't redditors, just everyday white trash and poor people.

>>321451262

There's truth to this, though.

The last 4 digits are the ones that matters - when ever your debit card is renewed, these are all that changed. The first 12 are tied to your account and remain the same from when it is opened.

>>321453464
It wouldn't be so bad if they made people put in their CVV2 each time.

I'm done with steam. What the fuck is wrong with the valve retards ? They do jack shit all day, the very least would be my sensitive informations to be protected.

>>321454125
they did before, isn't it with trusted copm that you can skip it?
either way, i removed my cc from steam a bit before christmas, so i'm safe.
i did get an email about someone trying to log in from another computer, but since my email was safe in the first place i'm fine

>>321444386
thank good they only know my email and paypal mail address which i use every day
and im pretty sure they wont sell the addresses, and wont get any spam mails, r-right guys?

So official statement and damage assessment when? Have valve already acknowledged officially the amount of damage and harm this has caused to their customers?

>>321453247
>>321453247
Damn that made me laugh

>>321450461
I too would like to know this.

I have no information saved with valve apart from my email.

>>321448419
Yeah but is it visible on your Steam account anywhere? Because the issue here is regarding the server cache redirecting users who log in into other people's accounts. Whatever is visible from the front-end of a logged in account, is what can get stolen, nothing else.

>>321455239
"it's a cache problem and other than last 4 credit numbers etc.... nothing bad happened"

Steam and store are back and so is this whole thing no matter what actually happened.

>>321455763

>If you have some money in steam wallet thingy others could spend it on stupid shit and that's it.

No. That's just blatantly wrong. You were literally just seeing a wrongly cache'd page. Nobody was actually logged into anyone else's account, trying to do anything like editing the account just resulted in an error page because you weren't logged in. Hell, when I checked it, I was seeing some Cheney45 dude's account info, but when I clicked on the transaction history I was looking at blue_____'s transactions.

My issue is the fact that its impossible for customers to quickly contact valve customer support in the event of an emergency. It will take hours to get a reply at the very least, days on average, weeks or even months at most. Sometimes never.

I know I'm the security guard for this store, and I know I left the door unlocked all night, but nothing was stolen, so how did I fuck up?

It's like that.

>>321458443
Maybe because few people are console only and most people here have a steam account.

>>321458385

1. Add something to cart
2. Purchase for X
3. Change payment method to Visa
4. The 'form' is shown, full name, address, phone number automatically filled and fully visible.
This screen was accessible and I managed to see some Brit's info.

>>321458832
The point is that even IF literally nothing was stolen, it was still a very bad thing to have happened. Right now, it's definite that last four digits, names, emails, and addresses were leaked, and there's a very real possibility that more info and money could have been stolen.

Of course, Valve won't suffer one bit. I doubt they even release an official statement, and even if they do, they'll give a shitty fake non-apology and nothing else and everyone will go back to sucking their dicks in less than a week.

I work in a call centre for HSBC and there's no way we would fucking change details on an account based solely on that info.

There's about 5 security steps you need to get through, most legit card owners fucking struggle to get shit done over the phone.

Trying to continue from the payment method screen didn't work, but the payment method screen itself was definitely accessible, at least if they had something in their cart.

>inb4 don't click this link will hack you
The issue only affected people who accessed the store while it was a problem. People were suggesting that you stay away from the store because accessing it added you to the pool of people others could log in as. This was factually correct even if it wasn't a huge problem.

>>321461264

It is actually possible, the guys still a retard as per my comment >>321461134

But however it is still possible, you'll need an employee ID including a companies specific employee number and knowledge of what systems a provider uses to view information but with that it is entirely possible to retrieve someones personal information via just an IP. A couple of years ago you could find employee information posted all over the internet so it wasn't too difficult to gather, not sure if companies have become aware of this fact.

>>321461571
I know but I guess I'm giving in to panic a little bit. I wish valve would just come out and say something.

I actually got logged in as some French guy but I couldn't really do anything ( not that I wanted to, I didn't even know about the thing that is going on, thought it's some bug). Thanks anon.

>>321461690
People were getting access to the wrong accounts when they logged into the store, letting them see random people's information that's normally private. The problem and what people are arguing over is exactly how much information people could potentially get and how hard they could fuck you over with that information.

>>321444386

The scale of this issue is blown out of proportion by the omission of the fact that this is not being driven by a malicious force.

If there was a hacker group intentionally causing this, it would be a serious issue, as they would be intentionally harvesting info.

This is accidental for most end users. When Tommy opens his page and sees someone else's account info, he isn't going to go and write it down to spread anarchy, he's going to likely freak out that his account was hacked, reload the page and wipe the false cache and nothing happens.

Exactly. What the fuck are the chances that, out of the hundreds of thousands of Steam users, not only was your account info even shown to anyone else, but also that it was shown to someone who is actually knew what the fuck was going on and intended on doing something malicious with it?

>>321461334
Every time you accessed the store or community you would be logged in as a different account, and the account changed every time. It was only whoever else was accessing the store at the same time as you.

It was a glitch to do with the Steam browser cache. You were treated as already logged in, you couldn't log in as other people intentionally or with any precision.

So why was I constantly logged in as the same user when accessing specific pages? In "Videos" I was logged in as one user, in the store as another, in "News" yet another and so on. And these users were consistent the whole time this was going on.

Implying you aren't already signed up.

>Screenshots have been posted already,

Do show me the ones with full phone numbers even though that is not displayed anywhere on Steam.

Remember, the burden of proof is on you, and failure to respond to this post with anything but proof images shows you are a faggot shit stirring liar.

It wasn't even that you were logged into the other user's account, it's just that the cached user info displayed on the other person's account was swapped in the place of your own. As far as I can gather, if you had made a purchase while experiencing this glitch, it wouldn't show up on the other person's account and they will literally never have any way of knowing if anyone else had access to their info.

>>321446406
You mean how did people highlight the text, right click, inspect element, then change the value to thousands of dollars?
Because it's literally that easy, don't be stupid.

>>321462786
Because it was saved in your cache as an active login. If you visited enough pages it would change next time you visited.

Flamethrowers have always been safe to use. It's just the fire part that's dangerous.

Faggot, it wasn't hard.

While I was on someone else's account I went to their wishlists, then tried to purchase games as gifts. It gave me all of their personal info, only the credit card numbers were missing.

Many others did the same, they have posted screenshots.

Only thing I'm worried about is my email. I used one of my main emails for Steam and I'm going to be pissed if some fucker got my email address.

>>321462674
And exactly how are you gonna get games on your steam if you don't access the store?

Think before you fucking post.

>>321463139
There has been exactly one screenshot that has no proof of being associated with this incident or a different account at all.

This is your second time responding to me (You forgot the "totally not him but.." opening to your post by the way) claiming their are screenshots of full phone numbers, when they are not shown anywhere on Steam.

And again, with no proof of your own, just vague claims that the proof exists somewhere.

You're fooling no one, you're a fucking faggot who thinks he's an epic shitposting superstar, leave the thread before you embarrass yourself further.

>>321448419
Cool. That info isn't visible.

>>321463363
Totally not him, but that's totally not me.

>>321463183
>>321463183
Yeah pmt this right there

>>321463245
>There has been exactly one screenshot

No, /v/ has been flooded with threads for the last five hours about this bullshit and in that time there have been many more than one. Just look around.

is there anyway to know you didn't got fucked because reloading your CC,Paypal or email every 3 seconds?

>>321463363
>This is your second time responding to me

Uh, no, it's not. I've made one other post ITT which wasn't responding to anyone.

There are 130 posters in this one thread you drooling retard.

>>321463513
I've been in several, >>321448739 is the only one and like I said, there is not proof it is related to the incident. If you've got another, post it, I'm not going to wade in thousands of shitposts.

>>321463206
He asked if he could use steam, the program itself, not if he could buy games you retard. It was perfectly reasonable to assume that he thought steam as a whole was compromised.

>>321463017
Running steam and opening the store are two completely different things

>>321463183
They could see your email at least. If you didn't access the store while it was going on you've got nothing to worry about. If you did there is a small chance a couple of guys saw your email.

>>321463706
So I had to actively access the store? What if Steam was just running in the background?

>>321448739
Fuck this shit. I'm gonna find a way to sue that fatfuck if my info got leaked like this.

>>321463694
>Running steam and opening the store are two completely different things
Except by default the store is the very first thing to load when you launch Steam.

>>321463810

You had to access the page. This was caused by Varnish, Valve's cache provider sending the wrong caches to people.

So you had to load the page on your account, thus caching it, for that cache to be sent to anyone else accidentally.

>>321463810
No issues then. You had to visit the page so that the Steam browser stored your login in its cache, or more accurately it fucked up and broke and displayed you as logged in as someone else.

>>321463965
Really? I guess I must have set mine to open to library years ago and forgotten about that

>>321463694
>Running steam and opening the store are two completely different things
Do you even fucking use steam?

It's the first thing that opens up when you log in.
