Well I already have had problems with real life situations that quite didn't have me thinking straight from the beginning today and I received a message from a high lvl friend out of curiosity it was to some random site "https://spindatgamex(dot)com/" and my account was hacked the moment I clicked on it. Please whatever you do, DO NOT click on this link especially if its a message from my account!!
UPDATE: Anyone on my friend’s list receiving messages from me it is NOT me. Please disregard the messages from me until I have recovered my account. Please let anyone else know that has read this message and knows anyone on my friend’s list. Spread the word thanks.

Pretty sure you have to enter your account info into a page before you get hacked. That's how they get your account name and password :P But yeah, you're not alone. There have been a lot of people posting here today about being hacked.

EDIT: Can you change the link to spindagamex(DOT)com so that people don't end up clicking on it? ;)

the link should be removed from op also its best to always think everything is a phishing link. i almost gave up my pypal info once do to a email but since i'm in the habit of never using links in emails it saved me. (i opened a new tab and used a bookmark to log in)

I've never been caught out by these, but it's because I'm quite tech-savvy and am very aware of these things. The average person is likely going to look, see a post from a friend that they talk to all the time and click on it, without thinking. It happens all the time to the best of them, real-life circumstances or not. :)

Apparently, you wanted someone with a compromised account to have their "nuts stomped on". Of course, this comment that was posted by you occurred while you yourself were compromised, so that means the hijacker makes comments now?!? Yikes!

Hopefully you (and all the others) will get your comment back soon!

Checking the Domain, registered at reg.ru
From Moscow, Rusia
Using Cloudflare and Domain Privacy Protection

Yeah, GediKnight got pished too, this is sad, he has 8k games. Hope the fucking guy doesn't VAC him.
I lost an account when i was starting on steam, it had just 15 games, but when i got it back, it had a vac ban :(
Talked to steam for a long time, but it was never removed, so i started again

One person here that got their account hijacked has gotten a game ban in CS:GO. I do know that they WILL remove game bans/VAC bans in very rare occasions, so hopefully an account being compromised is one of them!

We definitely needed another thread about this!

I vote we change all references to the scam site to That Which Shall Not Be Named, and then rename SG to DementorDramaDiscussions.com.
Let's just go all in on this, since it doesn't seem like anyone is going to calm down either on posting links to the site (#DeathEaters), instigating drama about the site while misattributing blame and attacking innocents (#MinistryofMagic), or making empty, poorly formatted threads on the matter (#Dementors).

Really, where are Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood when we need them? Or heck, even those bumbling sidekicks of theirs?

I hope you recover your acc soon. I think you should report that phishing site to warn others. I think you can do it in your browsers, but I'll just leave a Google link.

lol I've just received a message from a SG friend. I guess he has been hacked :/

Edit: I've added this message to his steam account, and I suggest everyone to do the same thing when they receive this kind of message

Attention, this account has been used to send phishing link "1 free game for new users!
take the game you want! www.[suspiciouswebsite].com" It's probably under someone else control.

I'm sorry your account got hacked and I hope you'll get it back soon.
In these times being a little paranoid can help. Just a little though.

But yeah, I too got those links from a friend. But I was warned thanks to posts like yours.

Yeah, I figured you must have gotten hit. Seems like quite a few people from SG have been clicking the link, as I'm getting a few people sending messages.

Clicking on the link doesn't get you hacked, signing in to the site (via the fake log-in page) does.

I thought you were doing me a favour...
Luckily I clicked the link at work, which is damn well secured, and the website didnt open.

As long as you don't log in, the site can't do anything to you.
