Steam Account Hijacked
rooster767:
Bump.
I checked out of school, because of what happened yesterday according to my friend. I do not want to be VAC banned, and have to pay around $1,000 to get my games back.
I have confirmed this is a hacker, and I am pretty sure the hacker is using a 3rd party program to use my account.
So, I asked my friend to monitor my account, and he actually found something very interesting. Apparently the hacker started up several games at once, because my friend claimed he saw several 'x is playing...' prompts pop up one after another. This alone confirms this is a hacker, and I came to a theory of a 3rd party program being used, because I know Steam does not allow you to start several games up at once. This scares me.
Anybody have any knowledge regarding this, or any ideas on how to resolve this problem? I still have my ticket up and going, so I should hopefully be on track.
EDIT: Steam Support wrote back to me, and reset my password. Everything is fine now. :D
