    That is a pretty good sign. Ran any fortnite hacks from GitHub lately?

    Sounds like it. Check your steam login history, change passwords etc. do you have 2fa on?

  3. Byokugen

    Yup, your account has been compromised.
    Enable 2fa, change password and good luck

  4. yep, lock your shit down, change all your passwords, enable 2fa,

    Also revoke any api keys if you haven’t yet. If you tried any of those shadytrading sites, they always try to make you give them trading api key.

  6. What to do next depends a bit on if you think you got a infostealer or if you have given away your credentials on some suspect site.
    But to make it easy use another device to change password on your main mail account and on steam. Activate 2fa if you don’t have it already and one of the most important things make sure to force a logout on all devices to deauthenticate all active session.

    Yes. Someone took over ur steam and is making u sell ur items for cheap.

    Yeah, happened to me last month. Even if i had mfa activated they still managed to enter my account and sell some stuff and empty my steam wallet before I managed to stop them.

    Unfortunately your items are gone and the only thing you can do is to change password, enable mfa if you don’t already have It and format your PC just to be safe.

    Check also any social media you use and see if there are any strange logins or if any strange messages have been sent.

    Remember, when you do anything to protect your account, do it on another device. Your main pc may be infected so they could log straight in again after you’ve reset your password

    Look and see if you have any recent game activity that you haven’t played recently. I too got breached in a similar fashion. The bastard sold my tf2 inventory and got me game banned on rust.

    Happened to me a year ago, it sucks, but fortunately they didn’t touch my most valuable items

    Ain’t no way they’re robbing your ass for Pennies…

  13. realgamer1998

    Yup. This is definitely a hack.

    I lost my all wallet money in summer as someone bought useless shit from my account.

    From that point onwards I don’t keep any money in steam wallet and only put money in it just before purchasing something.

    Yes, this happened before to me as well. It is not only Steam but also every other account on your browser with auto-fill passwords and emails compromised as well. I did not download any virus or anything, but downloaded an app which worked fine as intended, but they copied some specific files from my browser, which is used to autofill passwords in the login section.

    Pretty much I was hacked with similar method as Linus Tech Tips [Link](https://youtu.be/yGXaAWbzl5A?si=U8s9z4my6DrUOLga)

    Classic browser cookies hack, yes.

    Good news is your passwords shouldn’t have been compromised; bad news is every single place you were logged in on your browser is now accessible by that person.

    START CHANGING PASSWORDS, NOW!

  16. SuccesssfulSOB

    Yep you’re being hacked had the same thing happen to me lost about 160 items on my steam inventory luckily I was home and able to sort it out before I lost more of my library

  17. Change all your passwords for steam and email definitely. Don’t do it on your PC. Do it using your phone, incase of keyloggers.
    Then run a defender scan on full.
    Don’t login unto the scan is complete on any website.

    No your stream profile items naturally list themselves for sale.

  19. Darko002

    Yes it’s likely you’re hacked. Turn on two factor authentication.

  20. stonercreep

    looks like its just trading cards, your friends can buy them if you have dublicates

  21. TONKAHANAH

    >Am i being hacked?

    nope, past tensed.. you’ve been hacked.

  22. thebebee

    there’s an extension called steamdb that will list your entire inventory and sell it for you. nothing in the screenshot is worth anything so it’s kinda word for you to be targeted. especially if the money is staying in your account.

  23. Lightningsnow

    Yes it looks like the start, check your login locations, and change your password

  24. ConflictCute5318

    100 percent hacked , dont click any suspicious link that are sent to you via steam message , dont run any suspicious softwares , change your password then activate 2fa just to be safe and also you might want to change the email of your account ,

  25. stevorkz

    It’s easy to forget how valuable a steam account can be. Put your steam ID into steamdb.info and see for yourself how much money all your games add up to. Protect protect protect. Download the steam app on your phone, login, then in settings enable steam guard (2fa).
