Stupid Steam Hijackers....
mackisawesome | 11:30 AM on 10.21.2007 22 comments


SUMMARY: guy named "vac moderator" adds me to friends list and says i'm getting hacked. He asks for my steam id and password so he can "generate" my account.

Well theres the whole chat if you wanna read it. i especially like the ending... Bottom line is watch out for this guy, apparently he added yashoki too. I already reported him to valve, i really hope the guy gets banned.


"Call from (Vac) Moderator started.
(Vac) Moderator: Hello how are you? We were told to contact you through steam friend network..Your account is set to be vac banned and hacked which means you will no longer have an steam account.Someone is hacking your account and will be done within hours the safest way to contact you was on here.The only way you can keep your account is if I generate it which means to renew and protect from hackers..Shall i generate your account

Anyone who believes someone is a moderator for a site and then they ASK you for your account name and password and you do it...you deserve to be hacked and have everythin taken away.

You ask why people do this, try it yourself. There are ALOT of idiots who fall for this. I have a text file with about 20 account usernames and passwords in it. **shakes head**

Change your steam name to something convincing and paste this message to someone:

Dear Steam user, this is an automated message.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but due to an email we recently received from: InTractoin145@hotmail.com we are obligated to contact you. The account has been reported stolen by the alleged original account holder. Steam does not take these types of issues lightly. To clear up this incident and close this case labeled dispute No. 7632143 we need to verify either a CD key or a username and password. Again we apologize for any inconvenience. If this information is not submitted within 24 hours of this request your account may be disabled permanently. If responding with a username and password, please use the following format so that the automated account recovery system can recognize the information:
username<ENTER YOUR USERNAME HERE> password<ENTER YOUR PASSWORD HERE>
