  1. Account hacked


    Yesterday, I made a mistake. I signed into my Microsoft account as authorization to link a discord server. As soon as I did that, I realized I messed up. I spent the next three hours fighting the hacker for control of my account. Eventually, I lost. The hacker changed the account emails, password, security codes, removed 2FA, and removed all connected security emails and phone number. The hacker was logging in from somewhere in Texas, but I have reason to believe it was through a VPN. All the new backup emails for the account are from a website that provides VPN services and disposable emails.

    :)

    77000 Steam accounts hacked every month

    Ironically I've had the same crappy password since I made my Steam when HL2 came out and never been hacked, but I've had my Origin account jacked twice with a much more complicated password. 2 step on Origin fixed this problem, but just thought it was kind of funny. I went with 2 step on Steam to be safe too.

  3. Steam Account Hacked

    Again...

    I sent a ticket I just hope they resolve it soon cause I really want to play Portal 2.

    And I don't want him getting me banned.

    But the scary thing is they hacked my Email account too!

    I've changed the password but is that enough?

    I scanned my Computer using malware and it got rid of 9 Nasty objects! Its been months since I did a scan and now I'm thinking this is how they got me.

    Is a password change and malware scan removal enough to secure me? I made the password much harder than before.

    Thinking about doing a reformat as well. Suggestions? Should I leave the hacked email account and make a new one?
