[BBC News] Valve's online game service Steam hit by hackers


Recommended Posts

Having just checked the BBC News website, I've discovered this article.... Are there any ramifications for those of us who've either bought FM on Steam, or have installed it on there?

This question has nothing to do with whether FM should be on Steam - the fact of the matter is that FM is on Steam, and whining on the forum won't change that.

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/20...steam-password

As regards credit cards - they're quite clear. Again, quoting from Eurogamer - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...curity-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
