Info that might've been compromised include billing information, last 4 digits of your phone number, email, purchase history, current balance, etc. Will be updating on the situation as soon as I know more about it. 2 Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/57882-psa-serious-security-breach-on-steam/

Pan32 Posted December 25, 2015 Content Count: 1747 Joined: 03/17/12 Status: Offline Share Posted December 25, 2015 So this is not exactly confirmed, but the sources are decent enough. Accounts that were not logged on during the cache malfunction should be safe in terms of leaked information. To other accounts, if you have any saved billing information (paypal, credit card, billing address, among others), that data might be compromised. Assume as well that your full email name is compromised. Going back to phone numbers, since theres only 4 digits available, the possibilities of combinations go beyond 6k, so while you might still wanna change it, you should be fine on that front. To anyone using paypal, make sure you go to Paypal.com and go to Settings and Preapproved payments under the Payment options heading and unlink your connection to steam. To say this again, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE ANY SENSIBLE INFORMATION ON STEAM RIGHT NOW, DO NOT EVEN TRY TO USE THE WEBSITE RIGHT NOW.
