I got my Steam account hacked, how scared should I be?

[Killer21334]

Today I logged unto Steam and to my horror saw that someone had accessed my account. And I already changed my account info.

On a scale of 1-10 how much should I be panicking right now? How much of my information could the hacker have gotten? Has anyone here gone through this? What countermeasures( besides changing my password, of course) should I take to prevent this from happening again?

When I got hacked I lost all my games and steam said I couldn't get them back even though some of them I had a disk for. So after all of that bs I left steam for at least a solid 3 to 4 years then I returned only to play PZ.

Probably just the last five digits of your credit card, the expiry date, and the security code (Adobe keeps these visible in their profile, I magine it's the same for Steam).

Better get changin', since the other numbers pretty arbitrary.

In terms of preventing it from happening again, did you have Steamguard enabled? If not, I'd definitely do that.

Contact Steam Suport. After everything is sorted, enable Steam Guard

One would think Steam Guard would be built into Steam and not needed to be enabled.. My bank provides this feature..

On a scale of 1-10 you should be at about 100,000,000 because they're probably going to trade all your hats and weapons away. Think of the hats.

One who does not verify his email for Steam Guard shall not be guarded.

Check your transaction history from https://store.steampowered.com/account/ to make sure nothing fishy has been going on. If you've had a CC stored on your account, they may have been able to make Steam purchases with it, even though they can't have stolen the CC details themselves except for the last 4 numbers.

if you had a saved credit card in your account it's not unfeasible that they'd buy a shitload of games on your card and then just gift them all to themselves or some other throwaway account.  I'd check your transaction history like harakka said.  If anything looks bad you can try contacting steam support; you should be able to prove you're the account holder by verifying your billing info.

 

Good luck.  My my friend got his account hacked once and someone used it to aimbot in TF2. The account got VAC banned and Valve wouldn't revoke it for some reason, making many of his games worthless.
