[quote][B]Steam Forums Apparently Hacked[/B]
Last night, the forums for Valve's Steam service were apparently hacked. Redirects for a hacking website, [URL="http://fkn0wned.com/"]Fkn0wned.com[/URL], appeared on the Steam Users' Forums, offering "hacking tutorials and tools, porn, free giveaways and much more."
It's not clear who hacked the forums, but Fkn0wned.com is denying responsibility, writing this on its own site: "Fkn0wned Forum is currently unavailable In lights of someone crediting us for the recent breaches of steam forums, the board is offline. Fkn0wned is not responsible."
Some users reported getting email spam apparently from Fkn0wned.com after the hack, and the forums are, at the time of posting, offline.
The Steam User's Forums and the Steam service account passwords are separate, but some users might use the same handles and passwords across both. If that pertains to you, it might be a good idea to change your Steam account password. And pronto.
[I]Kotaku[/I] is following up with Valve and will update this post should the company comment.[/quote]

How can you say no to that?
Looking at their shoutbox on their forums. God, they are fucking douchebags.
Good, the steam forums are a shithole anyways.
You shouldn't call XSS hacking.
It doesn't deserve it (most of the time)
As long as they don't fiddle around with the other parts of steam I can sleep at night.
should have redirected to facepunch.
My steam password and steam forum password are totally different because I'm not a fucking idiot
not even the same username

[QUOTE=Zeke129;33166865]My steam password and steam forum password are totally different because I'm not a fucking idiot[/QUOTE]My steam username and SPUF usernames are completely different, and the passwords are entirely unrelated to each other and one would never lead to another.
Got worried for a moment there, fortunately both my username and password are different.

and even if they were, do you really think the people that got access to the SPUF forums would have been able to find the passwords of users there??
This is VBulletin, not PSN guys...
It's not like garry can look up our passwords here
[QUOTE=Gordon Frohm;33166928]and even if they were, do you really think the people that got access to forums would have been able to find the passwords??

[sub]I love Steam security.[/sub]
besides, steam guard
Fuck sake not this shit again, can't remember what password i used to have on the forums.
[QUOTE=MIPS;33166826]should of redirected to facepunch.[/QUOTE]
Should [b]have[/b] redirected to Origin.
Who cares?
it's SPUF
Also, looking at that screenshot above, it just looks like someone managed to get access to a basic admin account. Something that happens about once a year here on Facepunch. All they did was post a new notice and create a link. There is literally nothing impressive about that. So its unlikely they even saw people's passwords, they just got a lucky break on an admin one.
haha that's funny, I used to scam the hackers on fkn0wned to get a bunch of free steam accounts.

I don't even think I have an account on those forums.
I would expect Valve to properly hash the passwords, it shouldn't be easy to break into them (I mean, they might have broken into the forum and stole the passwords, but they might not be able to crack the database if the passwords are properly encrypted).
Hackers are OP nerf pls
So someone gained access to an admin password, which is also how mass mails were sent.
No need to worry, only the admin's password was compromised. You can't even see password hashes unless you have access to the database.
I used to be a member of Fkn0wned.com back when I was a stupid little kid. It's full of retards.
And nothing of value was lost.
Changing password just in case. I don't even remember my Steam forums password nor username.
These websites always have incredibly retarded names. I'm guessing there isn't much brain power behind the "fkn0wned" team
Kinda cool actully, finally found a forum wich has porn categories
Well good thing my usernames/passwords are different, and Steam Guard :rock:
