Heads up

[Havoc 67]

Hey, guys long time no see, I have just come to spread awareness on a large platform such as this community about a recent hack going around the community that has affected a lot of my friends on steam.

An example of two of my friends from the last two days who clicked on a link someone sent them and now they can't access their accounts. Do not under any circumstances click on something like this. If one of your friends does send you a link like this contact steam support asap. 

 

Thanks for your time.

Thank you for alerting us on this matter Havoc. I haven't received any messages about any free games but when I do I'll know that it is a potential hack. (I don't normally click on links random people give me anyway but this just opens my eyes a bit more). Cheers Havoc.

Good work homie.

Real shit though, if you're dumb enough to click on a sketchy link that someone who has JUST ADDED YOU sent you, you deserve to lose your account, tf.

            it's all fun and games until someone loses their Steam acc (also us Steam Guard vrethren are safe from this attack)

I clicked a Sketchy Link once biggest mistake but my Internet security is top of the lIne so it shat on it. But still the message is DO NOT CLICK RANDOM LINKS!
