Account Hijacked
« on: 24 November, 2008, 17:17:43 pm »
Yep... the second XURAS member to get an account hijacked, I've sent an email to steam support detailing the problem and with several identification things. Electro briefed me at school that my fears were correct after he say that my name had been changed and that I was on permanent snooze mode [ I'm never on snooze]. Paper... how long did it take for your account to get reinstated to you? Just so that I know roughly how long I have to wait.

Gah anouther xuras account? If any more go I'll start to worry even more, I swear we have some sort of 'bounty' on us for whatever reason. I'm guessing a dodgey forum member who has a screwed over past.
I'm changing my password every so often now >.>

Anyway hope you get it back in one piece

*sigh*

I thought something was strange when you didn't have your XURAS tags. Shame I didn't catch the name, began with a T but he blocked me and deleted me too fast for me to notice.

Ah that's it, "The Champ"

Not surprising that the account is private then.

just out of interest, how secure was the password? Wondering how they're getting hold of the account. Did you install something that could have been a keylogger?

I got a keylogger on my PC, cause of downloading a stupid game with torrents
DO NOT MAKE THE SAME FAILURE AS I DID!!!!!

Shame they don't work in the weekends, but I belive I send them an E-mail on a friday, recieved my account back on monday/thuesday.
Really, don't worry nad!! Steam is the best, they have over 15 million account I belive, they are very user-friendly, they won't let anyone down (Exept Hack0rz)
Just be patient, you will get answer soon, I'M SURE

I cant really think of what to write so... *sigh* ... Check your torrents! If you use a good site to look for them people will add comments on it if its any good.

For future refrence... I don't torrent anymore although I haven't performed a virus scan in ages. I doubt I downloaded anything Uber dodgey but it is usually a possibility.
