I'm just making this topic to let people know my steam account has been hijacked.
I have made a steam support ticket, hopefully be sorted out soon.

Right, well let me know when you've got it back. I'm going to take you off the moderators list on the server just to be safe. Shouldn't be too long, VALVe clears it up pretty fast.

[Slye_Fox]

Will do.

Just hope the ass don't get me VAC banned.

Any idea how they hijacked your account?

[Slye_Fox]

My own fault.
Someone on my steam friends list sent a link to a site that looked like steam, and I signed in there.

Fair enough, it's an easy thing to do. Lets hope Valve sort it out.
Everyone keep an eye out for hijackers, we don't want more people loosing there accounts.

Was it "look I found the profile" thingamajig?

These sites are easy to figure out since Steam chatbox always shows the last letters and it has a retardedly weird extension (something like .herz@245)

or they have .tk

The steam email validation thing you probably also submitted will sort you out of this hopefully.

Ah, I figured the message "you" sent was suspicious... I mean it didn't make any sense and the address was weird, plus when I checked the usual address of steam community I was still logged on there... obviously they just copied the community login page, since all the links there showed legit addresses when moused over.

Received a message from your account... the .TK at the end for the link speaks for itself

[Slye_Fox]

Yeah, seems they've started sending out the messages now.

Just got the new password.
