Yesterday my main account got hacked. At first I thought I'd mistyped the password, but after a few attempts I realized something was wrong. I updated my password using Steam's SMS feature and noticed my email changed along with the Steam account password. It seemed strange since my password was a mix of random letters and numbers that was hard to crack (about 20 characters of random stuff I remembered). I checked my email and found no evidence of any changes. It turned out popular platforms like G2A could help if a seller used their Steam support to report a missing or stolen account, allowing you to update your primary email and password without receiving any notifications. This issue should be resolved with services like G2A that let people auction CD keys securely. Fortunately, I had the Steam mobile authenticator, but it caused some concern. Be careful about where you obtain your Steam CD keys.
