Some rumors Steam is under attack by hackers!! ???
Looks like the Storefront is down. My games list is there and I can see who is online from my friends list.
I've been having issues with steam for a few days now. Store page has trouble loading, difficulty getting into forums, etc. Games are running fine though <knocking on wood>
Same for me. Games are running, but the store and community are hit and miss.
It's up right now as I post (13:55pm EST), both on the client and at the web page. For how long... :-\
I was just using the Voice Chat, but, last night, I couldn't access any of my games. Haven't tried today though.
Appears it is under some sort of hacker attack. Found this on the Strategy Informer website. http://www.strategyinformer.com/news/26746/steam-hit-by-ddos-attacks
I just logged in and am about to launch MTW2. Let's see if I get hacked attacked.
Seems fine on my PC...

It should be legal to track down script kiddies and beat the ever living sh*t out of them. Welcome to repercussions, worthless douchebags.
Ok today I can't log in for some reason. The Steamapp isn't even firing up. I'm going to try rebooting my system just in case it's a problem between the keyboard the and the user.
And Arctic you're right. I wish it was possible to zero in on hackers locations and fire for effect.
The storefront is slow but does come up. And all must nearly be right in the Steamverse because LB is playing Orcs must Die 2 as I type this. ;D
Operation successful. Rebooting did the trick for me. I just logged in and then back out and Stagger I saw LB playing Orcs must Die as well. All is indeed right with the universe. :)

My new strategy wasn't working so I rage quit.
The blizzard outside is making me stir crazy. I got my quota of NFL football yesterday and now have nothing to look forward to but more football or reruns of Property Brothers.
Maybe I need to go and paint some minis. Electronics aren't cutting it for me today.
Hold to your resolution, LB. Go paint those minis.

Try some tequila, it always brightens my day :)
Careful LB...

I have a bunch of Cold War era jets that need painting. You can do those for me. :P

That reminds me. I've still got a model sitting around here that's about 90% finished then needs paint. Thanks!

It's very difficult to track down attacks by pros because, most are planned weeks/months in advance by infected dummy computers/servers, some behind multiple proxy servers with spoofed IP address from around the world. Some attacks don't even attack the severs but, the networks & networking devices. When the attacks happen., the attackers sometimes aren't even on-line and the original networks used to setup the attacks are long gone! These days, it could very well be some government/agency playing with one of their new toys!
Here's some info on the attack that hit game servers, although it doesn't mention Steam, Steam has yet to release any info.

Why can't they just leave people alone?
