    I know there are probably quite a few of you that use steam. The other day their forums were defaced. They have discovered that the user database was also accessed.

    I've used Steam for years now, not sure if I've ever used their forums, but just in case...

    Thsnks for the heads up Gosh. I haven't used Steam in a few months so I think I'd better change my password just in case - don't want to lose my 5 digit Steam_ID :D
