Account Thief on Videosift's Steam group
My Steam account seems to have been hijacked. I was invited to join a steam group by another user in Videosift's Steam group. The link he sent was this: http://steamcommunitygroups.awardspace.co.uk/. After entering my account info in the (now clearly bogus) info boxes, seconds later my account's password, secret answer and secret question had been changed, and not by me.
His username was along the lines of Polska something, so be on the lookout for bad links.

JAPRHaha, snap, we posted at pretty much the same time with pretty much the same problem. Hope your account recovery goes well.

Yeah, I also got the invite, but ignored it, because it did seem like a message from a spambot. Didn't know accounts were being hijacked through messages like these though. I hope you get your account back all right, best of luck, mate!

Yeah, I decided to scorn conventional notions of "being careful" and "paying attention". No word from Gabe or any of the boys at Steam yet, but the credit card info wasn't stored on my account, so the hacker'll not get anything out of me.
