All I gotta say is that you got to be a real dick to hack Valve. Sorry to all of the people who say that "Valve is just as bad as the rest of 'em," but they're not. Valve isn't a stranger to business controversy (see their latest lawsuit), but I would say that as a company they will do more for the gaming community in a day than most AAA publishers will do in two years.
IMO Valve didnt do ever anything bad or against gamers. They are just passive releasing casual games. They feel like casual people, like modder to me. Shame someone is hacking them...
I have a credit card that I use exclusively for iTunes and Steam and last month my credit card company called to let me know there were suspicious charges. It didn't cost me any cash, they caught it right away and now I had a new card w/ a new number within a day. Chase rules. No harm done - steam's always been good to me as a customer, bad things are bound to happen.
damn im using chase too, will check if they are any suspicious activities.
though i wasn never hack and rarely visit the forums so i unlikely to be hack, but it's always good to be prepared for the worst :P

Steam sucks. Theirs way to many problems with it. I only use origin for Pc games, its supireor in every way.
Meanwhile in a parallel universe, Sony has sent out bulk E-mails to all of its affected customers mere hours after detecting a security breach...
Seriously though, Valve appears to be handling this correctly. As a personal precaution I don't let them store my CC info. So I have to uncheck a box every time I buy something. However, I now have my CC memorized due to repetition. ;vD
Also, let's look at the obvious thing: They are a digital distribution / DRM-lite company. If they bomb out and compromise the trust of its rather large user base, there will be hell to pay. It would take an emergency "Oh crap we screwed up! A bunch of games are on sale!" sale to smooth this over -- at a minimum.
So yeah, good for them doing the right thing and keeping their paying customers at least somewhat up to date.
Also, friendly suggestion: make sure your Steam PW is different from your forum PW. I think they even suggest that, but it's worthwhile reiterating.
@halo: LOL! Origin... Oh man, that's HI-larious. Oh man, gotta breathe... It must be a full moon, when even the trolls can't get their head screwed on right.

Are you serious? Like, no joke, are you serious? Origin is TERRIBLE. It's practically Spyware from EA.
Have you even used Steam before? What's cool about it is that it works the way it's meant to.

Well those hackers can enjoy my cc info since the card is long canceled.
Suck for those who had current info taken. :(

"Oh dont worry guys, they may have access to more important things like youre credit card but your Steam account is safe!"
Valve is fucking overrated and just as bad as every other game company, yeh I just said that.

The whole point of the message is they definitely do not have access to your credit card information
Kid you might be retarded

@Halo64: Fail troll is fail. Steam has flaws, but at least its developers are willing to fix it. Origin has EULA, which I don't think EA's going to fix anytime soon.
Alright, having two of your three "original" paragraphs quoting the letter that immediately follows them is pretty dumb.
