Submission + - STEAM hacked?
An anonymous reader writes: There is a report from someone going by the name MaddoxX that he has hacked Valve's STEAM service to produce, among other things, customers' credit card details, releasing a sample set to a filesharing site to get Valve's attention. In addition, the hacker has apparently also extracted some of Valve's own financial data including their bank balance for STEAM. Finally, the hacker also provides information about how to build your own STEAM certificates. The hacker is apparently holding the remainder of the credit card numbers hostage, instructing Valve to get in contact with him unless they want the numbers to be released publicly.
Valve, for their part, has acted quickly to remove the file — and all associated publicity surrounding the issue. Though break-in occurred 10 days ago, Valve has not informed any of their customers that their credit cards may be comprised.
