I might not have said it, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I have to try to protect my idiocy a little bit.
sorry, I didn't understand; did you retype your login in password when following the link, or was this infamous site able to extract your login in pwd from your steam session?
if we're talking about the latter, this is quite worrisome.
FINE. I will spell out my incompetence.
The link took me to a fake, though realistic looking, steam site. Where I logged in (while muttering 'why the hell do I need to log in when I am already logged in?') and thus unleashed hell.
Hey, don't fret about it. It works because its made to trick people. If you're not paying the full 100% attention the different address of the webpage isn't going to stand out. You normally don't look at it.
The important thing is that you took the proper actions to clean up most of the fallout with your CC and password.

The funny thing is that Psych and I share the real patient zero as a friend, but as I am much smarter than Psych, I didn't even click on the link when said individual's account sent me the message. I did however, guffaw a little, when less that 3 minutes after getting the link message from patient zero, I got the same message from Psych.

Sounds like you weren't bring your "A" game today........
On a more serious note, glad you got it worked out.
I got an attempt in Steam chat from some I didn't recognize, so I just shut the window. Thing is, I don't think it was from Psych. It was a longer name, one I did not recognize.

I don't think I have you on my steam friends, Robear, so for once I feel I am in the clear.
Perhaps we can re-title this thread "Psych's constant reminder of shame."

Not in thread form.
If you get requests for nudie pics, don't fret, that's really me
I feel left out
Maybe the hax0rz know I'm broke
Remember psych: If you can't serve as an example, serve as a horrible warning.
Though honestly, it happens to everyone, at least it was something you could fix quickly.

Awww, I'm sorry Fedora. I'll try to steal your account myself later this week.
I send in my *ticket* to reclaim my account yesterday afternoon. I have yet to receive any email back from them......... and I still can't log into my account.
just wait?

Oh. Apologies for calling you out on it. It would just be a little bit more worrying if it managed to hack you even without that info.

Why would you ever need them? By your usual threads I was under the impression that you needed to shovel eager naked women off your car before you could get to work every morning!
Order has been restored. I gots my account back!!!

Crap. Sorry donut, I hope this doesn't hurt our internet friendship.
I found out what happened also. I just don't want to embarrass any further the person who knows all my personal info and was just trying to "see what was being said about me in the forums". She might read this.
I wish I could find the people responsible for this and show them how it feels when I "hack" into their anus using a "my boot" program.
Should've known... I dont get msgs from Psych until i'm in another game and/or about to log for the night.

you did? where is my account.......... =(

Sounds like the calls are coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE.

I have a pretty good idea of what I will be suggesting.
Oh, and Psych, fix your location!
I got the IM from Psych but noticed in the embedded URL that "community" was misspelled and the domain was ".tk." My alert bells went off and I IM'd Psych and by that time he had gotten back into his account. I hope everybody has their Steam account verified with an e-mail address. If you have not done this, DROP EVERYTHING AND DO THIS NOW. Having the e-mail and security question can at least let you easily regain control of your account if you ever get phished.
FINE. I will spell out my incompetence.

didn't mean to call you out, just wanted everyone in the thread be as informed as possible regarding this threat.
good to hear you have your account back, just make sure your related credit card information hasn't been accessed or shows any irregular behavior.

You just called me a friend. You obviously don't even remember who I am.
Hey Psych's back! Wait... why was it that he left again? I think it was something about embarrassing incompetence but the details escape me...
