Good old LLMs just making shit up and causing panic.

Eh, already changed my password. I try to change my passwords for major stuff like Steam a couple of times a year anyway, this event was a good reminder that I was about due.

For people that will come and say that they lie to save face.
The EU guideline mandates you inform DPA within 72 hours if there is high risk involved, like in this case it mandates that they should be informed immediately.

Changed my password anyway since it’s been the same since 2003

This is one of the dumbest things that’s happened in a long time, and it should be blown up. It’s another example of why letting Ai make major decisions is a dumbass idea. These clowns didn’t even check the data sample or question why someone would sell millions of Steam accounts for $5000. And even then, people researched and found that the poster had kinda lied about the info they were selling. It’s SMS messages for those account codes. The ones that last 60 seconds. The ones you don’t get if you use the Steam App for 2FA.
People will say I’m overreacting but this same scrappy Ai tech is being rolled out for law enforcement, academics, job applications, etc. And Steam won’t be able to help you when those Ai inevitably make a mistake against you personally. The enshitening of the internet is moving into reality now.

I’ve had the same steam password for almost 20 years. It is all lower case with no letters or symbols. The fact I’ve never had to change it is a true testament to Valves account security
