The Rizzo-Team Stori

10 Novembre 2011
Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users:

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.

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. 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 .....ed. We are
still investigating.

We don’t have evidence of credit card misuse at this time. Nonetheless
you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely.

While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised,
all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next
time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other
accounts you should change those passwords as well.

We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not
planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are
separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to
change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum
account password.

We will reopen the forums as soon as we can.

I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Gabe.
