Igår skrev vi att 89 miljoner Steam-konton hade drabbats av en dataläcka där inloggningsuppgifter och mycket annat hamnat i fel händer. Nu tonar dock Valve ned allvaret i händelsen där de visserligen bekräftar intrånget, men samtidigt berättar att inga inloggningsuppgifter har läckt. Istället ska den data som stulits ha bestått av 2FA-meddelanden och telefonnummer kopplat till dessa. Enligt Valve själva finns det i nuläget ingen anledning att byta lösenord eller ens kopplade telefonnummer till Steam.
The leak consisted of older text messages that included one-time codes that were only valid for 15-minute time frames and the phone numbers they were sent to. The leaked data did not associate the phone numbers with a Steam account, password information, payment information or other personal data. Old text messages cannot be used to breach the security of your Steam account, and whenever a code is used to change your Steam email or password using SMS, you will receive a confirmation via email and/or Steam secure messages.
You do not need to change your passwords or phone numbers as a result of this event. It is a good reminder to treat any account security messages that you have not explicitly requested as suspicious. We recommend regularly checking your Steam account security at any time at https://store.steampowered.com/account/authorizeddevices.
Ingen större skada skedd, alltså.
