    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.

    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?

    Account hacked

    My email (live.com) account was hacked.

    • To whom do I report?
    • Where do I send header information?
    • How do I recover my account?

    System details:

    • Running Windows 10 on an HP all-in-one computer
    • Office 365

    Thanks for your help.
