Gabe Newell announced today that Steam's database and forums have been hacked. According to Newell, Steam's forums were defaced earlier this week, and further investigation led to evidence that the hackers had obtained access to the Steam database.

"This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information," Newell wrote. "We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still investigating."

Since almost all of us use Steam in order to play the game, I would highly recommend everyone to change their Steam login password ASAP.

Risk of the times - enjoy living in fear under a rock.  Ohhhhh, I see.

As I don't have real access to my account at the moment, best I could do was remove my credit card from the account.
