For some reason I cannot fathom, I decided to visit my own profile today. To my dismay, I saw my description had a link in it. It was the letter b, linked to also, the letter b. I went to edit my account and the description was set as follows:

No information given.

[url=b]b[/url]

I was quite concerned initially of being hacked, but my account history revealed no unfamiliar transactions and my account has no financial information stored anyway.

Steam Guard never emailed me about logging in, so I'm not concerned for my account's security, rather the security of Steam. It went away on its own after about ten minutes. A friend had the same thing happen, but only that one friend.

Was this just a steam glitch? Should I be concerned?

I don't know if you got hacked or anything, but a few months back, I had a referral link to GMG or something, and the link got erased. Instead, it was replaced with something along the lines of "Now nobody likes referrals" or something like that. I thought I got hacked too, but perhaps it was just Steam support. Idk. :/

I had the same. Said something about spamming links though. I put the link once and left it, definitely didn't spam it. :/

Glad to hear it isn't just me! I should point out I had no information given before as well.

Steam is having a bad hair day today...

Don't panic! Hopefully normal service will be resumed soon.

Seems glitchy at this time. Can't visit profiles and groups I know exist for one. Or log in with my browser. My account 'doesn't exist'

It's a common Steam bug. Happened to me few times also, F5 usually takes care of it

Steam is really crappy right now, lost some of my games on my inventory. Good thing they reappeared after a while.
