This is just a heads up to the majority of the people on my friends list, please don't click on anything you might get from me.

I'm in the process of recovery, just don't want you getting internet aids.

Begs the question though, how the shit was it highjacked? I've only used 2 well known sites that used that login-through-steam business.

Were you using Steamguard?

He's also currently enjoying Borderlands 2.

Alas the Steamguard notifications were aggravating at best.

Obviously I should have been using it all along.

Well, it's also good because it means the person who hijacked your account doesn't have access to your email too. Tongue

Dunno if you had 14 crate keys before or not, but you do now.

We hope. Doesn't hurt to change your email password.

xB was/is having similar problems with hijacks. In his case, his email was compromised.

If you're using the same password for multiple accounts it wouldn't be difficult for someone. I had my origin hacked a while back, dude dropped all my friends ,left all my groups/platoons, managed to rank me up in BF3 a bunch for hacking... I went through the effort of reporting the people he added as friends though as I it suggests they're hackers too. EA Claimed their accounts weren't compromised... my ass... 2 weeks later there's a security question system in place, and back up e-mail, system in place.

I'd have given you a specific link, but I'm at work and steam community is blocked here.
