Steam account hacked?
The day before yesterday I created a Steam account and bought two games. Today I got a message saying I had to log in again because my account details had been updated. When I did that, I got a message saying my password was invalid. So I wanted to reset the password, but it said that this email didn't belong to any account. Then I tried resetting the password using the account name, and that didn't work either, because the email that is now linked to the account doesn't belong to me (I can see a small part of the email). How can that be, and what can I do to get the account back? I used two different passwords for my email address and my Steam account, and I still have access to my email account. I have NOT given the account details to ANYONE.

You don’t have to give the account details to anyone…
A simple login on a “dubiosen” page and your password is already known…
Or it’s a normal Kiddie site that has been hacked even without knowing the admin…
All your mail addresses including passwords are known and ALL can be read and deleted…
Now imagine the hacker who knows your username…
Forgot a click on password and you get a mail that reads the hacker and deletes it immediately so you don’t notice.
Then it changes the password first…
Since he now has all the data, he can easily change the mail address, the confirmation mail will be deleted again…
So before you take any step, change the password of your mail access…
After that, only the support of Steam can help you, best with this link…

I hope that helps you..
many thanks to you saved me! was able to provide proof via the link that the account belongs to me by buying paypal!
The link has already helped many, I am pleased that it still works so well…
You could get in touch with the support. Tell those when and how and from where, place + device and operating system, you created your Steam ACC.
These are usually things that hackers do not know. How you paid on demand. When you bought something.
Maybe you have a chance.
Just go over the support.
You need proof of your purchases that the support wants.
And if your account has been stolen so quickly, but you have not logged in any way about it and the data will not be passed on otherwise, one is thorough malware search on your PC.
Hackers don’t just go to an Random computer and break in there.
You must have captured something on your computer.
Was your password safe?
yes defined
Also from your email address?
Yes, right, at the last time, my son reported – I didn’t even know I had one with my infertility.
Yeah, sure, you can never start early enough to inoculate your parents:
“If “ICH” wants to call and have money, talk to me personally – or my wife – or very close acquaintances –
In the best case, you also have a non-webable mobile phone flying around – that no only knows the very close acquaintances in such cases.
But yes, there’s a lot of shit coming to us.
Klaro, you always have to be careful, the great danger is still…
I’m just saying ChatGPT….
The Defender is no longer as bad as his call.
You can do that as long as you follow the basic rules of behavior on the web.
The most expensive business solutions nix also bring new viruses or spearfishing.
Talk from experience.
Jupp, until next time something is.
All right, at least set up MFA should be the Dude.
It is not necessary… only creates work.
A proprietary virus scanner also helps – but rather not the Defender…
@TriSam,
would also make the PC plate once. Just for security.
That’s good…
However, change the mail password, foreseeable…
And yes, I also have 7 different mail addresses, for every purpose another… This creates control…
I didn’t do anything like that. but have the account back since I could provide the proof that it is my account!
Doesn’t help if you log in with the same password on other pages,
Or you are familiar with admin calls on discord…
Yeah, well. I always use safe and different passwords
