Steam Spam
« on: November 14, 2014, 12:34:52 pm »
So lately I've been getting messages from friends on my steam list, saying "WTF Dude" with a picture attached or "Check this out". I'm assuming it's a virus, but has anyone else got this spam from friends. Kind of concerning if that's the case considering financial information is on steam as well...

It's a spambot that takes over your Steam, I've received several of those messages as well. Luckily I didn't click anything, some of my friends weren't so smart...

If you click the link it sends it to everyone on your friends list, make sure to change your password and security question if this happens.

Had to do this a week ago, not because of the spam, but because someone logged in to my Email that has Steam linked to it, It couldn't have been me since I haven't been there at all, so I hadto change all my passwords, scared the shit out of me. Changed every password I had...

hi :/
Listen to me big fat red haired spastic, you don't have half of my intelectual capacity, you are a fucking brain less animal, i think your mother throwed you on a wall when you were a baby and this is why you have the same brain as a monkey,
You understand nothing, this is why you are working at 20, because your brain did not allowed you to go to school to grab a decent degree, being toxic on a video game is not the same as being retarded, you should try to do some maths exercices because remember you can't even count to 10 if you remember one of the recent tournament, so now go threat your gambling addiction before your mom kick you out of her house.
And you should also go in an asylum, you get triggered by a fucking game and go in depression, deleting everyone on Steam and setting your profile as private, you cunt.
