As always there is a constant threat of phishing scams and account hijacking. Recently a freind approached me informing me his account was hijacked, he recived a message from someone on his freinds list informing him that nvidia were giving away 2 free games ( this is not true, the only offer has been via ATI and you have to be a new customer) so he visited the page that looked like a genuine steam page and entered his account details, instantly being recorded by the hijacker who in turn changed all his credentials locking my freind out of his account, so normal retrieval methods were unsuccessful. I assisted him, made a support account with steam and submitted a ticket packed with evidence that he is the owner of his account, within hours steam reset his password and got him his account back, but not everyone might be so lucky, so a warning to all, NEVER ENTER YOUR ACCOUNT DETAILS ANYWHERE! other than a steam official client login.

Here are some security tips from steam

Here is some information on phishing

Stay safe girls and boys!
