You all got this for sure:

"Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users:

We continue our investigation of last year's intrusion with the help of outside security experts. In my last note about this, I described how intruders had accessed our Steam database but we found no evidence that the intruders took information from that database. That is still the case.

Recently we learned that it is probable that the intruders obtained a copy of a backup file with information about Steam transactions between 2004 and 2008. This backup file contained user names, email addresses, encrypted billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. It did not include Steam passwords.

We do not have any evidence that the encrypted credit card numbers or billing addresses have been compromised. However as I said in November it's a good idea to watch your credit card activity and statements. And of course keeping Steam Guard on is a good idea as well.

We are still investigating and working with law enforcement authorities. Some state laws require a more formal notice of this incident so some of you will get that notice, but we wanted to update everyone with this new information now.

Gabe"

And why is a thread on the forums needed for this? We already know about Steam being hacked last year anyway. And this piece of news is almost the same ast the last one :D

Keeping the communnity up-to-date with this kind of stuff is quite important IMO. At least I like what he's done.

And by the way, the forum is a forum, not a private giveaway dump.

where in the bloody hell do people "get" these messages? i have never ever received any kind of message from steam in regards to any of this stuff. the only way i found out about it is from forums like this, i never got even the smallest note or message from steam about this, so whats up with that? perhaps its regional? does steam only care about important countries, or only black people or what? i guess valves 'LOVE' only extends so far, but certainly not to everyone.

You know how game adverts pop up sometimes, when you log in? It was in one of those.

Perhaps you have set not to allow those.
