Okay, I don't know how the hell I'm still logged here, but the thing is I got hacked after downloading a keygen for Dead Island. Yea, stupid me, I'm retarded. I got hacked by a fucking russian or some shit like that. I already contacted Steam Support, hope I can get my acc back.

Well keygans usually do work, I myself have been pirate my whole life. But none work with steam, dont try it. Utube is full of keygen videos, ALL are fake, they want you to write name/pass, how can you not see their intensions lol.

The only thing I did was download that stupid keygen, but couldn' execute it cos' it was asking for some missing DLLs. I thought that wouldnt do anything to my acc, but it fucked up everything. I don't know what I'm gonna do if I can't get it back =(

Back when it was February my account got hacked because I entered my account/password into a website which looked like steam. I thought my account (and my preordered copy of Portal 2) was doomed.

Fortunately steam support got me my account back.

Yeah, but that's not exactly like "Oh, I'm going to download a keygen so I can get a copy of Dead Island because I'm too cheap to pay the developers hurr hurr. Whut's this? I get haxxed?! NUUUU!! Steam Support HALP ME!"

Even if I had the 50 € they ask for, I wouldn't buy it either. I refuse to pay high prices for digital versions of games, it's a steal and it's just retarded.

Well, if it helps any, you are the first person I've ever wished did not get their Steam account unhacked. I genuinely hope you lose your $449.72 worth of games. You are an idiot and a pirate (and a worthless one at that) and I have no sympathy for you at all.

Now I have to say sorry for refusing to buy expensive digital version games? I find it unfair, it's just my opinion. If you want to discuss this, open a new thread. And no, I'm not a pirate. Every game you see there I bought it with my own money, 100% legit.

Except the Dead Island you tried to steal. I'm glad the law doesn't take your side. "Your Honour, I'm sorry. I only stole that car because it was too expensive!" "Oh, shut up and get your arse in that jail cell."

He is allowed i hope the same thing to you.

You entered your account details in a site that looks like steam before and got hacked.

Now you run a program which will generate y ou free keys for games you dont own.

Why they even bother getting your account back????

You will loose it again with a keygen you will install yourselve.

If you're going to do that at least suggest something useful

1) Don't download shady crap from the internet

2) If you HAVE to because of whatever do the following

a) Install VirtualBox

b) Download said shady stuff only to a VirtualBox computers

c) Test and then revert snapshot or delete the virtual box computer once finished

Sequestration is key. But again you can avoid all that by following rule #1

You will eventually get it back but do a few things

1) FORMAT YOUR COMPUTER. You're screwed at this point start over. God knows what other viruses you have.

2) Change your email password. Only do this after you've formatted the comptuer, or do this from another known computer.

3) Make sure you email password is secure and not used anywhere else on the internet

4) Enable SteamGuard

5) Make sure your Steam password is secure and not used anywhere else on the internet

6) Change any other password you might have. Assume EVERYTHING is compromised. Facebook. emails, paypal, banking, everything. Have any password stored in IE or Firefox, those are easily decrypted and found so assume those are all compromised as well.

Just as easy. Most built in password managers have absolutely no encryption, password protection etc.

I only use the password managers for websites I don't care about. For anything that's actually 'important' I simply type them in manually.

If you want securtiy for your password manager, there are other 3rd party tools that can assist you.

Strange thing is that neither my antivirus (Microsoft Security Essentials) and Spybot didn't find anything, and I don't know how this fucker could hack me, cause I always autologged into Steam and never put my pass trying to login from a browser. Hell, they sure got it by trying to login to this page =S

I assume it's a dell or some other company. They should have then given you a 'recovery dvd of some kind'. Or I know on Dell's they preload it with a recovery partition which contains a ghost copy of the computer shipped from the factory. You basically load the recovery partition and it does a 'reformat' for you.

Check your vendor to see what recovery options you might have.

You might want to save off any files, pictures, music and save games before you start, as you'll lose everything when the recovery process starts.

I don't need Steam to hack your account. I just need your email. Once I get that I initiate the password recovery option which uses your email as an authentication. Once I get the password via email, I grab it, log in, change the password, and change the email. Presto. Instant Steam hijack.

if you're stupid enough to run a keygen, you're dumb enough to put in your email and password into the form fields when asked.

Valve Anti Cheat in it's second version. If you get banned for cheating in CS:S you will never be able to play on a secured server ever again.
VAC-Bans will not be reversed, even if your account was hacked.

The download links were everywhere around the site, not just the forum. They hijacked every first comment on each giveaway. I was hoping we responded fast enough to make sure no one clicked the links. Fortunately, the spammers didn't know how to make their links clickable.

Yeah, they spammed, but it was also made obvious exactly what they were. Apologise to the ones who downloaded without knowing due to not understanding the language well enough. This guy even admits he downloaded a key generator for the game solely because he doesn't want to cough up the dough. That's piracy and that's something you shouldn't apologise about, but something you should take a firm stance on and ban him (or at least give a very stern warning).

He also had to copy and paste the link directly into his browser because the spammers didn't make the links clickable. We do not accept responsibility for the damage done, as you are correct, they made it very clear what they were spamming.

There is a chance he could lose his account as a result, and for that, I am sorry.

Why would anyone care you got hacked by trying to get pirated stuff? Seriously I laugh at your idiocy, and I honestly do not feel bad for what so ever.

I know this sounds pretty rude, but seriously, you should know better by know, and as an adult (I am assuming you are an adult) you should have better common sense to realize that keygens are always 99 percent fucked.

Good, then you're old enough to get a job, stop being a layabout and pay for the shit you want. I get all of £20 a week to spend on myself in a job that is literally 24/7. You see my Steam list? Every single one is bought and paid for myself. I have plenty of gifts given too. I also have at least 50 Xbox games, almost every single one a Collector's Edition (Skyrim, Gears of War, Halo: Reach, The Old Repubic to name some of the most expensive things I have). A 9-5 job at McDonald's pays a hell of a lot more daily than I get in a week. Go get employed and then buy stuff legally, you arrogant, self-imporant moron.
