Fatty April 18, 2007 Share Fatty GC Founder April 18, 2007 hmmm, i found some myself.... http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?showtopic=156284 not convinced of anything, but worth reading... Which links to this: http://emp.damage-web.net/viewtopic.php?t=2071 That last one was posted on April 8. If anything DID get compromised, I would assume that by law anyone who ever bought anything from valve would have received an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracid April 18, 2007 Share Tracid Member April 18, 2007 (edited) I heard about this a few months back, this is another one that's popped up.

Guest ash April 18, 2007 Share Guest ash Guests April 18, 2007 (edited) If they managed to steal credit card info then they probably got steam l/p's too.

anonymo April 18, 2007 Share anonymo Member April 18, 2007 You might want to check that. Lol...mod BURN! I don't beleive this for a second. If it were treu yuo'd not only recieve an emial from Steam but your credit card compnay wuold also contact you and infrom you that you number wuold be changing. If VISA knew you were compromised they'll halt your card immediately (like when I bought 400 Euros in Rome on my VISA without telling them I was there...20 mins later my card was on hold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appalachian_fox April 19, 2007 Share appalachian_fox Member April 19, 2007 (edited) If anything DID get compromised, I would assume that by law anyone who ever bought anything from valve would have received an email. I think that varies by state, but I may be wrong. I remember reading about that when Bank of America lost all those backup tapes. As I recall, a company doing business in California must, in most cases, do so, but I'm not sure about that. If it were treu yuo'd not only recieve an emial from Steam but your credit card compnay wuold also contact you and infrom you that you number wuold be changing. If VISA knew you were compromised they'll halt your card immediately (like when I bought 400 Euros in Rome on my VISA without telling them I was there...20 mins later my card was on hold) You know, there are cases where a fair amount of credit card numbers were stolen and the people were not issued new ones. My father had an issue with one of the recent "unauthorized distributions of credit card information", and Visa told him they would keep an eye out and asked him if he would do the same. A few months later, his card was used in England and promptly refunded the next day (but due to exchange rates and the amount charged he was up something like 3 cents). He called Visa, and they handled it at that point. This is a man who doesn't leave the country, except maybe once in a blue moon on business, and then never on his personal card. It kind of surprised me that they didn't catch it. And that was within the past year, year and a half tops. Of course, it was no problem for my father, he got right through to the fraud department (whatever they call it) and they cleared it up right away and took care of him. That's the nice thing about CCs for the user -- Max $50 liability if reported in a timely fashion, and that's usually waived. *edit* Though I must admit, my Visa card has been shut off more than once for "oddball" purchasing patterns over the past three years...everything's a calculated risk to them, I guess.

shaftiel April 19, 2007 Share shaftiel Member April 19, 2007 (edited) Well so far all this has been unsubstantiated speculation and hearsay.
