Steam is one of the world's largest distribution networks for online video games - has been hacked, leaving the user accounts of 35 million vulnerable and potentially exposing their credit card details and billing address to hackers.
It follows the prominent hacking of Sony's PlayStation network in April, which affected 77 million accounts globally, 1.5 million which were Australian.
Valve, the company behind Steam, issued a message to users informing them of the breach today. In it company head Gabe Newell said its online forums were defaced on Sunday November 6 in the US and that on further investigation it found that the intrusion went "beyond the Steam forums".
That's some news that came to my mind today,
Not that you care.
