    Angry Steam Hacking

    Be aware folks, I cannot confirm this, but tonight i recieved a steam mesgae from ev[V]vol about the following steam promotion at Steam Community. He went straight offline afterwards.

    At first I thought it was a joke and didnt bother as honestly I cannot remember this this guy. Half an hour later i get the same from [hos]Phoenix whom I know. However the page was slighlty different as it didnt show all the free games. So I messaged him and it seemed legit. He then went offline. and my Steam shut down.
    I attempted to log back in and got that my steam account was in use by another computer.

    I am not saying that Phoenix did this.

    Did anyone else get this tonight, or is this legit and I was just ironicaly unlucky..I ende up being abe to retrive use of my account by resetting the password......

    UPDATE... I can confirm Fleshy just received the same sort of thing supposedly form myself...BEWARE FOLKS IT IS NOT REAL

    I got a few requests to chat from ev[V]vol and someone else coming from Darwin Gamers as well.

    I ignored them and nothing so far has happened.

    Same here tonight. Was SMSing with Phoenix before and he's peaking that his account got done. He's trying to get it back.

    Definitely a bad one. Fortunately I smelt a rat immediately. They're trying to be sneaky by joining groups you're in (the guy/bot who tried to ping me was in the HOS group).

    Hope anyone who got burnt can sort it out quick smart.

    Nah. Just time to continue being diligent and not clicking on links... even if they are from your friends.
