There are people who are gullible enough to download and run any program (regardless of how well they "trust" the site)?
That's really sad.

yeah - the executable is called steamguard.exe - and it's somewhat new idea to scamming, yet if you download executable file from shady website - well, what do you expect? ;p
Shortly - how steamguard actualy works is not storing any data of your trusted browsers on their servers - when you authenthicate a new method of logging into steam, steamguard puts an ssfn file in your steam folder containing details of your verified steam profile and browser. so if scammer gets this file, he can easily copy it into his own steam folder, log into your account and will not be bothered by steamguard at all. On the other hand if you're about to change PC or just format your HDD, you can also sopy these files so you won't have to bother with 2week trade ban ;)

ssfn have information like "account IVTimVI is verified for using chrome, firefox and steam client on this PC" - it doesn't contain password, so phisher still has to steal your password using phishing site - but then this sites shows fake steamguard window (looking exactly like one opn steam ofc) at login attempt and it asks to DL steamguard.exe - which is a trojan to steal ssfn files, because with only login and password scammer could do less than with login, pass and ssfn (with login, pass and ssfn you can not only gift all giftable copies of games, but also trade all tradable TF2/Dota/CSGO items, social items like cards plus spend money from steam wallet and if user has PayPal or CC connected even spend money from these).

That is what makes it so sad isn't it?
You'd expect anyone who is somewhat literate when it comes to internet to be aware of basic rules such as always paying attention to what you download and install from the internet. Its not like internet is a new phenomenon.
Also I don't know about the rest of the community but I have always kept my browsing, gaming and sensitive transactions separate on different windows installation. And even when it comes to browsers, its usually modded with all kinds of addons which let me know exactly which website I'm going to, what Link I'm pressing and even which third party trackers are tracking my habits.

Not hacked, you voluntarily gave your log in information to a dodgy website, BIG difference
Plus, you said yourself, "The dudes in the lobby", NOT the guy who invited you

If you had some credit card connected to this account, than it should indicate somehow identity of account owner and you can try with steam support, otherwise you probably just made a cool giveway to someone^^
