WARNING: Account Phishing

[Slazenger]

Got two chats from people within the eGO Steam group tonight, as well as a couple others looking to steal accounts by simple phishing. They have all been using the same format asking for your user name and password due to some issue with multiple IPs being logged onto your account. Unlike most, these guys were using proper English and the /me command in chat to make their text look official.

Just wanted to give a shout-out to let everyone know what to lookout for. Remember, you should never have to enter your login information for Steam except to login in to the program from your computer. Never give your information out in chat.


Also, make sure your have email verified. This prevents anyone from changing the email attached to your account and therefore locking you out (and keeping you from changing/retrieving the password). For information on how to do this, please visit this link: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5151-RUAS-1543

Stay safe, and have fun gaming eGO!

This has been happening for years. Its as easy as not telling anybody your user name and password. Especially password, I'm not sure how these idiots fool people into giving them our info.

This is a common thing. first thing to know.. dont click a link unless you know its safe. (firefox +noscript stops clickjacking) 2nd, if you feel your account is compromised change your password(s) asap.
