JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

 Hi Goons! Those of you who use steam need to be aware of a phishing problem currently going around that has already hit a number of Goons.

Big thank you to Ciaphas for messaging me about this and we absolutely want to make sure no one else is compromised. The basic jist is this:

quote:

- Compromised user sends friends a message asking to "vote for their team" with a URL
- said URL leads to a fake Steam Guard (2FA) login page; using it to "log in" gives the attacker enough information to actually log in with the user's credentials
- If the attacker is doing something else with these accounts besides sending messages to hook other users, we haven't seen it yet

And in action:


Please be careful out there on Steam my friends!
Do NOT Fall for the phishermen!
