We're still not sure how it even happened.

    Who shouldn’t be within a thousand feet of passwords.

      Way more than just passwords, apparently.

      The seller claims this is a “fresh” leak and says it includes usernames, passwords, two-factor SMS logs, message contents, metadata, delivery status, and other sensitive details. SOURCE

        And here’s an article saying otherwise.

        https://www.vg247.com/steam-vendor-data-breach-passwords-89-million-users-dark-web

        Again, the panic smells rotten because Steam should not have a plaintext copy of your password, it should be hashed, and there’s just no way steam isn’t doing that.

          That’s a promising update! Thank you for posting.

          Funny how even the URL of that article suggests that passwords were breached. LOL
