I've looked a bit closer on the problem. In my opinion it looks as if it is an internal caching problem. Just delete personal info for now, stay off your accounts and wait for Valve to clean the mess up.

Going to bed now, big hype and panic for nothing I assume  ::)

They have said not to change anything right now. Doing so can put you at risk.

The sale, the changing accounts... doesn't this seem a bit too suspicious? Maybes Lord Gabe doesn't want to lose shekels in the sale and has "hacked" the website to stop people from buying the games on sale!

EDIT: Seems to be working now.

According to multiple sources, it was just a "caching misconfiguration"

People keep saying their profiles keep changing to someone else's. My friend just said that he now has tons of anime games and a different avatar and a different name.
Hahaha! xD

..... No, this is not a hack and yes, stuff like this occurs normally due to server instabilities and internal changes multipel times every day.

Calm your tits fellas, because if you guys tried to be "safe" and edit your stuff...

Then you did the opposite of what is considered safe .-.

so just sit down and watch some youtube while waiting for steam to be defribrillated

Do not attempt to change your password or Email now if those "hackers" are good it would make it even worse. Just delete the important information and log off from all accounts related to steam.

You don't say ::)  :P
