Minipily Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hello folks! So I've been getting word from my friends that hacks are going around. I've warned people yet some people I warned got hacked, either curiosity or very smart hackers. Anyway straight to the point if you get image links or- you know what? ANY LINK THROUGH STEAM, then PLEASE DO NOT CLICK IT!!! I have no idea how bad the hacks are but a hack towards your steam can never be good, especially if you were silly enough to save details like credit details on there... (No offense). SO BE WARNED, ignore steam interaction if possible and be safe til the steam guys manage to fix this crap! -Mini PERO, L_Jacobs, Mach2k5 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny_S Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Just to let you guys know, this is still going around I think. Received a message from Oderus a few minutes ago on Steam chat which he didn't send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 just got the same one here link to a screen shot .png don't click any links unless you are in communication with the sender if you put the link into a browser it downloads what looks like a screen saver / screen shot which is a hyperlink link to a russian website called ( files. etherway .ru) - don't click any links in steam chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufu Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Seems to be closely related to a money hack that was released a short while ago, allowing you te refill your Steam Wallet without having to pay. If it sounds to good, its proll not true or hack that will hurt you in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach2k5 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I Apologise I clicked on a link to TRADE for an item on steam, as I trade cards on steam I thought it was a real message! But as I found out it was a TROJAN VIRUS!!! Affected Programs!!! WINDOWS FIREWALL (Switches OFF) SECURITY CENTRE ( Switches OFF) WINDOWS UPDATE (Switches OFF) AT THIS POINT DO NOT USE ANY BANKING SOFTWARE!!! OR PURCHASE ANYTHING ONLINE!!! How to Clear this problem.... In Program Search <TYPE> Services <SELECT> Services and look for SECURITY CENTRE and SWITCH IT ON!!! Repeat for the Other 2 Items then Download a Free Piece of Software called MALWARE BYTES from www.malwarebytes.org and RUN THE PROGRAM!!! Quarantine / Delete found MALWARE after search.. THEN IMPORTANTLY CHANGE THE PASSWORD ON STEAM AND ALL SOFTWARE THAT MAY HOLD YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS!!!!! AGAIN I DO APOLOGISE TO ALL THAT CLICKED ON THE FAKE STEAM MESSAGE FROM MYSELF!!!!

Dingo Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Aswell as Malwarebytes use ADWCleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanne118 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 And to top it off, use CCleaner to clear out your registry; make sure you know what you're doing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
