I'm a little curious since I went offline while playing L4D2 a few times but my friends say I haven't. It's not my connection or anything.
I changed my password to a very strong one so will that help it not to happen?
The main sign is not having access to your account because you were a dumbass and gave your password out, just sayin'.

I never give it out to anyone, I'm in Steam right now in Left 4 Dead 2.
You might have downloaded a keylogger, I had that issue before.
Do you use steam guard?

Yeah I use Steam Guard. Changed my email address password.
So if you use steam guard you should get a mail and possibly a notification from steam that your account is used on another computer. they should not be able to log in without the code from that is sent to your mail.
I hav ur steam acount op now im going to get u bannd HAHA
joking, enable steam guard and post your password, with steam guard you basically cannot be hijacked
Gabe even tested it by posting his password with his own account.

No.
[QUOTE=NielsGade;34528153]there is a method of hacking called Brüte Forcé, which makes it possible to crack any password.[/QUOTE]
brute force is simply trying every combination possible of passwords.
it will only work if your password is something stupid like 123456.
otherwise would take years to crack the password

wrong method

[QUOTE=NielsGade;34529171]the content of the password doesn't matter, the length does[/QUOTE]
While the length is still a major factor in passwords, content does matter. If brute forcing alphabetically, aaaa1111 is much easier to hack than zzzz9999
They're fucking around with you. Sometimes steam community will go offline. This is steam's fault, you're not being hijacked. Don't give out your personal information or download shit from limewire and you'll be good. If you're super paranoid download Microsoft Security Essentials and do a scan after you change your password.

Man that highschool french sure paid off for the first time.
Lack of common sense.

You'll get thrown out of game with notification "this Steam account is being used in another location".
If you're not online while that happens, you should look for any changes in friend list or profile page, and before logging in check your public profile to see if your last online time matches with your activity.
If someone does get into your account, he surely will change your password and email if you haven't verified it. It's also likely for the hijacker to hack on your account to get you VAC banned.
Your account is not in immediate danger if none of these symptoms match.
It usually starts with suspicious activity on your email account and access that doesn't match up with your travel schedule
If you notice that someone on the other side of the world who you have never met is playing with your steamaccount there's a chance it has been hacked.

A very small chance.
[QUOTE=NielsGade;34529171]the content of the password doesn't matter, the length does[/QUOTE]
it does matter, the possible combinations of 6 characters using only number is smaller than using alphanumerics.
using only numbers is 10!*10!*10!*10!*10!*10! possible combinations
using numbers and letters is 34!*34!*34!*34!*34!*34! not considering lower/uppercase as diferent letters
[QUOTE=digigamer17;34528463]No.[/QUOTE]
Unless someone has your email password too, your account is impossible to hijack while using steam guard.
[QUOTE=NielsGade;34606943]a computer doesn't care if it's numbers or letters, you don't know what brute force is do you[/QUOTE]
it seems you have no idea what you talking about, i already explained what is brute force

Where are you getting the factorial from? It should just be (number of possibilities)^(number of characters), so 10^6 numeric passwords, and 36^6, or 2,176,782,336, alphanumeric passwords.
When you get your steam hijacked you get a "Refresh-login" box out of fucking nowhere
trust me i know how steam hijacking is performed
You will need to drink more milk.
