About time I refreshed all my passwords anyway. Thanks for the heads-up.

Still, if you use 2FA your steam account should be safe. But if you use the same password and email on other accounts, those might need a change of password, yeah...
Also, a good time to drop this here https://haveibeenpwned.com/

1) It takes time to properly update the website
2) The breach is still alleged
3) Maybe you weren't involved

Check back in a week to be sure. No results for me either yet.

The article says

Fingers then pointed at Twilio, stating that it handled Steam's 2FA systems and that the leak occurred from within its systems, but Valve then got in touch with MellowOnline1 and claimed that it had never used Twilio.

Which makes sense to me, because Steam sends the code via email or to their own app, none of them using SMS, I think.

Also, even if Steam account details are leaked, I honestly doubt the Valve stores passwords as plain text. Passwords are probably hashed with proper salting.
