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.

 

77000 Steam accounts hacked every month

Thanks for this! I have Steamguard and a particularly intense password for Steam already, so I blew off the offer to use my phone for two-step verification. My thought was "to hell with that! Steam does NOT need my phone number (which I rarely give out)!

Now I understand why! Implemented now. *Smile

 

77000 Steam accounts hacked every month

In an update about security and trading on its Steam Games distribution platform

Valve has said that the number of Steam accounts hacked every month has grown to around 77,000. Account theft is the number one complaint of Steam users, we are told, and once an account has been compromised it is usually quickly cleaned out. Now Valve hopes that users will start to make use of two-factor authentication, via its Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator (part of the Steam mobile app), to reverse the hacked accounts growth trend.

I just started using Steam's two factor mobile authenticator the other day and now I'm really glad I did. I've never had any problems with my account and I want to keep it that way.
