Valve's Steam service hacked, credit card info obtained

Looks like its time to cancel another card...Valve is still not responding to this as of yet, how wonderful.

Valve"s Steam content distribution system has apparently been hacked. The culprit allegedly got deep enough into the system to steal credit card information and financial information on Valve. DailyTech reports the hacker known as "MaddoxX" broke in and obtained:

  • Screenshots of internal Valve web pages
  • A portion of Valve"s Cafe directory
  • Error logs
  • Credit card information of customers
  • Financial information on Valve
MaddoxX posted the information he obtained on an anti-Steam website. He has also threatened to release a spreadsheet of the credit card information. We"ve contacted Valve for a statement on this alleged breach in security.
