steam questions (credit card)

ok...

True.

Sad but true :(

tell what ? a secret?

Same here

I never heard that it's just a press of a button to get cash back, you have to go through many procedures and at the end of the day it's your fault if your info is stolen as you gave it to someone

Or you tell your password.

I hate you people. "linux can't get infected with keyloggers and trojans".

Stop spewing this bullshit. Linux can get infected. It's just that viruses are mainly made to target Windows, but the Linux virus database is growing, and quick.

Game maker Valve has confirmed that attackers unknown have penetrated the Steam digital distribution network, POTENTIALLY making off with customers' personal details and credit card numbers.
Read past the intentionally inflammatory headline. "POTENTIALLY".
If I recall, they confirmed that no credit card information was leaked, and the statement issued by Valve was just a warning to watch for possible fraudulent activity on your cards.

"Our Steam forums were defaced on the evening of Sunday, November 6. We began investigating and found that the intrusion goes beyond the Steam forums," Valve boss Gabe Newell explains in a statement to his company's customers.

"We learned that intruders obtained access to a Steam database in addition to the forums. This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information," Newell admits. "We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still investigating."

Yeah, the safest way to pay through Steam is paysafecard.
