Well that explains why one of my keys got stolen Oh yeah, my dota2 key.. Those sons Of bitches! This breach happened on sunday btw.. Doesnt mean they didnt keep my details. I logged into my account this morning, i was supposed to have 2 keys to gift, one of them had already been reedeemed by some random guy i never talked to.
The real problem is that you didn't gift them to fellow TLers earlier.  Easy solution.
This event actually sparked some great changes for me. I just started using KeePass and am now using 20 digit passwords on everything.

The dota2 makes a man go insane.

Hey, on the bright side maybe Valve will give everyone something for free :D
Like TF2! - oh wait.

Ah well shit happens, no sense bitching about it. It is however a real shame that they had not made enough precautions after the entire Sony affair. Hope we get a free game at least!

How do you check whether you've saved payment options? Nothing bad has happened to me, but I have no idea how to check whether I've saved it in Steam or not. Thanks!

Login from the steam website.
Look in account details and if there are any saved payment options then delete them.

Oh wow, never thought that this would happen to Steam. No one is safe I suppose.

This. Whenever I purchase something from anywhere, including paypal, I immediately remove the card after the purchase.

I don't think it helps to simply remove your credit card info from steam. The information will still be on the servers.

Not surprising, after all they did code VAC loloolol

We should put pressure on United Nations to have him appointed President of the Internet.

Jeez wtf
there's gotta be at least a hundred hackers out there with my **** at this point and I'm careful with my ****
|
All I am worried about is my account because I got in the dota 2 beta 2 days ago. !!! hope its not bad.
|
Sounds like there are a lot of kids that don't care about their parents' credit card in this thread. :D
|
Wow, didn't think that steam would get hit like this.. Seriously hope that they didn't get my card details, or anyone elses for that matter - if they did, valve is really gonna' have a shit storm to deal with.
And what the fuck is with all these attacks on large companies? I am the only one who thinks it's a little out of the ordinary that this has happened so many times in such a short period of time and to such large companies? Really gets me wondering..

..... so if I had my credit card applied to this... (mainly because I don't really use steam except for some random games and didn't know I could use paypal) what should I do -__-'

Doesn't matter what you do really, the damage has already been done - they have potentially already seen your details so even removing them from steam wouldn't help the matter. Just keep an eye on your bank statements for any unusual/unaccountable activity and report it as soon as you notice it.
A tip for future safety though is not to save payment details on ANY site, just put them in as and when you need them - the few minutes it takes could save you thousands of £££.
Edit - Oh and changing passwords to any important (Steam etc.) or financial site wouldn't hurt.

And I trusted Steam enough to use one of my primary email addresses! Nooooooo....
(Also gmail needs like a premium service, seriously >.>.)

It was EA trying to make Origin look better! the bastards! :D
