Apparently, hackers were able compromise Steam's database, containing millions of individual personal info such as credit care details, passwords etc. It all started from Steam forum, until it extended to whole steam database where Gabe announced that hackers obtained access to our personal info.

Sony (PSN, Square Enix, SOE), Nintendo, SE, CodeMasters... and now Valve! pfft hackers sure love screwing around with big gaming companies.

Anyway, those who have steam accounts with credit card info, it might be a good idea to check your credit card usage, don't know about paypal though...

Here's an article if you want to read more about it: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

And knowing all those people got hacked and they still couldn't protect their costumers. I know I'm not safe with Norton Internet Security right now...LOL

[nokou]

lucky me... i dont play online nor would i ever give my card details out to any website..
but realy hopefuly it hasnt done much dammage to peoples personal info.

Well it doesn't matter which antivirus software you have, because no hacker would ever attack personal computer at your home...
It's contraproductive to hack one personal computer to get info about one person...
Only Crackers hack your personal computer, using spyware, malware and other stuff, which can be stopped and deleted even by windows firewall, because they are primitive...
why would anyone try to make virus that hacks your firewall when there are thousands other computers without antivirus or any other protection

so dont worry, your PC is absolutely safe... can't say that about your credit card if you have data on steam

My opinion of Steam goes like this. One annoying, the one or two games I play that require steam has to be updated every time I try to play them. Which is inconvenient to say the least.

These attacks should be an eye opener to all the companies that want to start playing with cloud computing, that their security is inadequate to consider such a step at this time.

1. Ever hear of a botnet attack?

2. What do you mean his/her's PC is safe, it has norton installed, only differance in norton and adware, is that norton attempts to block spyware, trojans, etc. and blocks other companies adware.

EDIT: One more thing, Steam is hacked moderately often, by groups that make cracks for steam games, they have even had cracks released the same day or before the games release that should not be possible if they didn't already have a copy.

It is so inconvenient to be forced to update your games (unless you are in offline mode) to get rid of latest bugs or add extra functionality. I just want to play my games bugs and all... and then bitch that they are never updated or are buggy.

Sorry I can't continue any further... your logic ... or lack there of... is appalling.

If I have miss-read and what you actually meant was that the steam client itself needs updating... then I am left even more puzzled. You question whether companies are ready to explore new technologies, yet you yourself are against letting them patch their software to prevent or fix bugs/exploits or flaws.
