Post subject:  Steam Hacked

...forums initially compromised, followed by what appears to be access to account info.

Passwords and CC info AES256 hashed, according to Newell, but it's still nasty.

Goes without saying, folks, that changing passwords and keeping an eye out for bad things happening might be an idea.

I think I'm gonna go change/cancel my CC ASAP

*Waits for the people who hate Steam to say this is a justification for everything they've been saying about why steam is so bad, despite the fact this type of attack can and has happened to any other retail outlet.* Seriously thought if you start trolling or flaming each other I'll whack you on the head, keep it civil.

Post subject:  I am personally running out

I am personally running out of ideas for passwords because of these retarded security breaches. It's frustrating because the last one I had is strong enough and easy enough for me to remember w/o having to use randomized complex alpha-numeric and symbols.

While I do not have any financial numbers saved or stored on it, I'll check w/ my bank (debit card user) to see if they're gonna ding me for changing numbers.
