Hackers stole the data of 89 million Steam users

Hackers have carried out a major attack on the Steam platform, stealing data from 89 million of its users, according to reports from XDA.

This is one of the largest security incidents to have occurred in the gaming industry and has worried many Steam users, who may now be exposed to the possibility of their personal and financial information being stolen.

The attackers, who are suspected of being part of a well-known hacking group, have demanded a sum of $5 to gain access to the database they have stolen.

This request indicates that they may have gained access to sensitive data, which could include passwords, credit card information, and other personal details that could be used for fraudulent purposes.

To protect their accounts, XDA has advised users who have not yet enabled two-step authentication to do so as soon as possible, as this is one of the most powerful measures to prevent unauthorized access to personal accounts.

Furthermore, the portal has advised that users immediately change their passwords and monitor their account activities for any suspicious activity.

This incident has highlighted the importance of cybersecurity and the care that users of online platforms must show, especially those involving financial transactions and sensitive personal information. /Telegraph/
