STEAM account hackers methods
A Forum Thread for GameBanana
A thread to post and discuss new ways people are attempting to hack STEAM accounts.
OK, before i start i want to say i have not yet fallen for a account hack. In the past few weeks two of my friends have almost lost their accounts. Luckly, both times i was online and avaliable to help them. One of my friends acctualy lost his account, had it sold to someone, and got it back.
I dont know if your aware of it or not, but there are people out there who make a lot of money hacking and selling STEAM accounts. There are several ways they attempt this, and i intend to go over the main 2 in hopes that you will have a ready reply when its your turn. Mean huh? But whats the average steam user to do? Know that if you give the person claiming to work for steam you info you will most likely never get on your account again. NEVER give anyone your account name or/and password. If you are contacted by a person namer 'VAC Moderator' tell them to F#CK off. Or, knowing they are scamers, mess with them. Convince them that you work at steam and that you are reporting them to the police, or what ever. This type of hack is getting more common, but the basics are the same. They want your user name and your password. Some even have a website to make the scam seem real. some claim that they done need your info, just DL and install. LOL, i even saw on that said "This is not a scam." Awww how nice, glad to hear that. OK, now your warned. Dont do it. Never give away your password or your user name. Never fall for the free games scam. And, if you ever meet the VAC Moderator... Tell him to suck your balls.

Just yesterday some goofball added me under the name "Steamgamegiveaway" and he gave me a really nice alphabetical ordered list of all the games on steam (i really commend him for taking the time on that one) but he said to pick a game and then give me my password and username...i said im going to fuck your ass with a knife if you dont stop typing bullshit to me then he just logged out really fast.

I actually did one of the "free games" things before, except I actually got the game :S not hacked, just a free copy of HL2:ep1. URL to post: -
Why do people fall for it? Steam never contacts over chat. Only e-mail. Even if Steam DID contact over chat nobody should listen to them because it's their rules that they can't contact by chat so they'd be violating their own rules. URL to post: -

They're Not getting hacked, it's fools falling for the so called "steam moderators" and even when steam sticks a warning in every single chat window they still fall for it, so personally to those who fell for it, you deserve everything you get. go ahead and bitch at me for saying it or thumb me down, whatever but if your going to bitch do it in my profile so I can go ahead and block you.

They aren't really "hacking" if they're preying on people's stupidity. URL to post: -

Posted by AsianBoratKindergarten students can understand the idea of "NEVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE". If you're dumb enough to fall for a SCAM (not a hack) like these then I really have very little sympathy for you.Posted by Ben-Hur They aren't really "hacking" if they're preying on people's stupidity.But why must those with "stupidity" (major cough) be punished???

All you needed in this was a simple "Don't give out your password". And for the retards, "LOL@U". But anyway, I suppose it is a bit informative......maybe. URL to post: -
Posted by Ben-HurBy "major cough" I wasn't exactly referring to myself :P It's just that I don't feel that it is right for hackers to PROFIT from other's stupidity.Posted by AsianBoratKindergarten students can understand the idea of "NEVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE".

Posted by AsianBorat By "major cough" I wasn't exactly referring to myself :P It's just that I don't feel that it is right for hackers to PROFIT from other's stupidity.Like I said, they aren't hackers, they're scam artists who bilk idiots out of their accounts. They're hackers when they maliciously gain access to the accounts through use of software or hardware exploitation. This thread annoys me. It acts like account hijacks are a new phenomenon. Far from it. They've been doing shit like this for years, and not just games.URL to post:

I love how when people do the IM thing called. vALVE employee or something. If you have steam it doesn't necessarily mean you own any valve games at all. The people who they scam are damn stupid but the scammers aren't too smart themselves 9 times out of 10. URL to post: -
Why can't people understand that they shall not give away any of those details, no matter what URL to post: -
