New Hacker on steam

[SwampyTurtle]

People are getting their accounts Hijacked. We need to warn as many people as possible. Tell your friends, and have them tell their friends! Below you will find a post from RawDog on FPSB offering advice for dealing with Steam Support to reacquire your account.

Advice: Just go to SteamPowered.com, go to support and stuff, and your going to have to create an account on there and submit a ticket, you can assign a ticket to a category, make sure he sets it to "Hijacked Steam Account", so they can take care of it faster.



The file you are asked to download is: CS-Slideshow.scr
The link you are asked to go to is http://www.edited-out.net

My account has been hacked. Do NOT trust anything that comes from my account till i repost here.

Please be careful. Do not click any links you do not know or trust. If it is a link to download something, don't download it unless your trust the person sending you the link AND they tell you what it is!
Keep your heads, and watch out for one another!


-More information as we get it

Thanks for the heads up. Unlucky. Hope things get sorted soon.

[GalantnostS-]

Wow, that was unlucky, mate. Keep us informed on how it goes.

How does going to that site enable access to your Steam account?

[dissonance]

Do what I do: download maps on another machine, and transfer ONLY the .bsp to your other machine. Make sure you have 'view file extensions' turned on if you're in Windows, so that you can see if you downloaded an .exe or not.

Already been through this on FPSBanana. Originally the guy was targeting FPSB, but a member called XSS3 stopped him by denying him access from the internet via the ISP. Here's what I advised to all the members, and I hope it helps.

i dont know but perhaps it activates the .exe so that an antivirus wouldn't see it as a virus running as a background program and would need more time to find it.

anyhow, thanks for the heads up and i hope u get your account back soon

edit: wow the steampowered forums moderators suck, they just closed the thread a guy posted about it and said they should report it to "Valve Billing and support". They should warn the people...

[zombie@computer]

Wait. so first you are stupid enough to dl such a crappy .scr, then tell US how to be more secure?

[Spas12]

so what, i already was confronted with two steam phishers asking for steam login information, one stupid enough to answer back with a regular human response.

[srredfire]

Lol! I was in the chatroom when you got "HAXXED"

He was a pretty nice guy actually.

We talked for a bit, he told me to fear him as a hacker, but then I told him to growl at me or something to be more scary.

Then you PM'd me on steam and you said like, "SRRED!" and I said, "WHAT!?!?!" and you were all "I..." and then you logged off.

Oh yeah, that sucks btw. Get your account back.

trust the person sending you the link"
Wrong , I fort the same, So i clicked the link and got my Computer and Steam account hacked , The hacker (VexD) hacks peoples steam accounts and spams the Link around to people on your friends list , I might also say he dosnt just go for Steam accounts .
VexD (If it is him) Goes for any types of logins he can find on your computer , He got my Msn , FPSB , XFire, and everything else i login into , He can also mess around with your computer and can see everything and control everything as you would be able to(As Administrator) If you have clicked the link then Reformat your computer ASAP, There is no other way of removing him .
All his files are hiden and protected so if you wonted to delete them it dosnt let you ,Also changing your IP dosnt help so just to be safe just Reformat your computer then try getting your steam account back .


I went through all this for 3 weeks leaving the hacker on my computer and trying to find ways around him ( Deleteing files , Finding Files) We did everything (Loads of people from FPSB helped me out) to this hacker and find ways around him instead of Reformatting , But there is no possible way you HAVE to reformat , Also been in Safe Mod Does not work either .


EDIT:
Also if you clicked the link Pull your internet cabel out (Dissconnect from your internet ) when connected thats the only way for him to get on your Computer !

Alex has really bad spelling. I'm with Z@c on this one, despite his pro-whaling status

[srredfire]

sounds like some sort of trojan

[mat_de_b]

The website is probably downloads a keylogger which then tracks everything you type and eventually your steam account etc...

*EDIT*
Reading above it clearly is an advanced keylogger... Really not all that special, to stop him getting your passwords just turn your internet off pretty simple. Every key press is stored in a file and tehn uploaded to him, so if you can upload he cant get your data...

[Mr. Happy]

its teh virus!

haha, well, I don't think I've typed in my steam password in well over a year.
