Sticky on Steam security breach

The marketing suits have to play it right like 3 wise monkey's; hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Commercial over service.

"Re-verify your cache" is as good as it gets re Steam problems.

I want a patch that means I can delete the crap off of my computer and still play the game.

I'll go purple and die holding my breath waiting. Corporate manslaughter. :D

Like their hundreds of other development partners and 30 million plus customers, we're dependent on Steam to provide us updates regarding the issues they've had. They're best placed to deal with this and advise on it, obviously.

I've followed the official line on changing password (they suggest that this is more important if you also have a Steam forum account). Our friends at Eurogamer have provided some information on how to do this here: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-11-how-to-change-your-steam-password

As regards credit cards - they're quite clear. Again, quoting from Eurogamer - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-10-valve-confirms-steam-security-breach:

"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.

"We don't have evidence of credit card misuse at this time," the note continued. "Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely."

In my opinion, that's quite definitive.

I'm unaware of anything else we have to say at this time, but if there is going to be a statement, it'll be made and stickied on these forums.

Cheers

Matt
