			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks like Steams current undergoing maintenance message is due to some dodgy goings on,  I just received this message from valvesoftware.com and it does indeed appear steampowered.com has been compromised:</p>
<blockquote><p>Ever wanted to dominate the servers you play on with guaranteed results, but you were too afraid to cheat because of ban risks? Visit Fkn0wned It&#8217;s safe, secure and undetected.</p>
<p>Along with hacks, we&#8217;ve also got some general discussion sections, hacking tutorials and tools, porn, free giveaways and much more. This site has been conditioned to meet all your needs in terms of resources so be sure to take a look and tell us what you think.</p>
<p>Thanks again,<br />

<p>Definitely do not visit that site mentioned (url removed)</p>
<p>As of 11/11/11 Gabe Newell has expressed his regret with the hack whilst providing further information that another separate database has indeed been compromised.  This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information:</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users,<br />
Our Steam forums were defaced on the evening of Sunday, November 6. We began investigating and found that the intrusion goes beyond the Steam forums.<br />
We learned that intruders obtained access to a Steam database in addition to the forums. This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still investigating.<br />
We don&#8217;t have evidence of credit card misuse at this time. Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely.<br />
While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised, all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other accounts you should change those passwords as well.<br />
We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn&#8217;t be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password.<br />
We will reopen the forums as soon as we can.<br />
I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience.<br />
Gabe.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got another one of these today from the user going by the name of <em>Steaм Auto-Response System.</em></p>
<p>Using the Steam chat system as the method, this dodgy user has attempted to get my details by posting a fake automated message requesting a username and password.  I usually like to have a bit of fun with these users though the chat it didn&#8217;t last long enough for me to get to the punch line.</p>
