Jeezus thieving shits ...

Anyone had this happen to them - what kind of pain is involved in getting it back via steam ? 200+ games I cant get to any longer.  :knuppel2: :knuppel2: :knuppel2: :knuppel2: :knuppel2: :knuppel2:

No idea I'm afraid. I hope it's not too painful for you to get it back.

Did you have Steam Guard on? It basically means (I think) you get a text with a code for things that change. Obviously this won't help you now - I'm trying to work out whether there's a flaw in that so I can determine if I have to take action.

Get in touch with STEAM ASAP. Open a ticket ASAP and have anything that identifies you as the original account holder handy such as how you have paid for most of your games.

Once you clear all this up, I highly recommend Steam Guard.

Yes lesson learned ... have TFA on my Paypal after a breach. Will enable steam guard - just a pain having to have my mobile to hand every time I want to login.

Hopefully I get it all back.

Actually have a free night and was looking forward to some gaming instead have to deal with this crap. I just wish there was a big red button I could press to make all the thieving scum of this world disappear in a puff of smoke. I would have absolutely no problem in pressing it.

Yeah, it sucks. I've had my identity stolen twice in the last 15 years, but not from online stuff. Trust me, I know how much of a pain it is.

I won't ever assign CC or account info to Steam. I think you guys have reported it happening there once every couple of years. I just don't want/need to take that chance for the convenience of having my paid info on file with them.

Yeah took all my CC details down a while back. Only linked to my Paypal account now but I have TFA on that so have to login and enter a text code to process that so as safe as it can be.

Yeah - and he changed the email address on my account. But to do that they send a code to the registered mail address. It doesn't help steam store the registered email in plan text in the account details - but I am guessing he must have hacked my email as well to get at the code that was sent. But essentially he robbed me of 200+ games with a couple of passwords.
