got hacked

[Rahiro]

Hello guys


I have a Problem.
When I turned on ma pc ma friend asked me why I didnt talk to him yesterday evening. I answered well I wasnt online then. He said I was.

I checked my gametracker stats on fearless and well I was online there too.

It seems like someone hacked ma steam account or he knows ma pw or ma mail id and pw.

is there a way to safe ma account beside changing ma pw(already did it)

I hopen I didnt do anything bad yesterday evening:
Steamname TomTx

Go to the steam support and press retrieve hijacked account.
You'll get to write a support ticket, and they'll review it as soon as possible.

When you get your account back change the password, account id (If possible?), password for your email or get a new email.

Account security tips? Where do I begin...

• Change passwords frequently
  
• Use upper and lower case, numbers and symbols in your passsword
  
• Set up a secret question
  
• ...and use an illogical answer for it, for example question being "City I was born in" and the answer being "b4n4n4cr34mp13"
  
• Never give out your personal information
  
• Use various usernames at different portals

Also why the hell aren't you using Steam Guard?

GabeN gave out his ID & pass and still no-one hacked his account - It's THAT secure.

Use it - Makes it impossible to hack you.

Also what killjoy said. Don't EVER use the same passwords on high security sites either, i.e. Paypal, your bank, Steam (high value). Without me revealing TOO much, my Steam pass is at least 30 characters, and includes upper case, lower case, numbers and rare symbols. I will say no more to protect it.

Get Steam Guard

It's also really important to have a decent firewall to protect your system, even if your password is a hundred characters long, key loggers and stealers show no mercy.

Guarding my system - I think I'm ok for now.

No but turn on Steam Guard, even though it may get annoying, it does help and will save your account.
