I bet if it was another company people wouldn't wait for confirmation.

Which is why, even if this ends up being someone's idea of a bad joke and turned out to be a false flag, I would still suggest people review their security. -- There is no harm in being cautious.

@gamingonlinux @seyon Even if this ends up being a false flag, changing your password to something longer (or in some cases something more random) is a good practice.

Here's a statement from Valve on the reported Steam data breach

There's been reports of a Steam data breach recently, and instead of jumping the gun I reached out to Valve first to see what was going on. Here's a statement from Valve.

@seyon I beg to differ: the benefit of changing passwords or MFA factor very much depends on ones risk assessment and possible attack vectors. For most people using MFA and using strong passwords generated and stored in ones password manager is more than enough. No need to regularly change them, besides of confirmed data breaches or stolen credentials, IMHO @gamingonlinux
