Steam Virus Scam

<< < (3/3)

Emilia:
I'm not sure if it is a new thing, but yesterday, the virus had two friends leave dodgy links on my Steam profile.

Wake[of]theBunT:
Err... Weird. Is not logging on in a while providing a safety? I want to keep my 6 digit :(

Rodney 1.666:
There seems to be a new variant of this, linking to a "screenshoters.com" in chat.

You can keep it.  The only way to get your account "infected" is by downloading the file they send you (scammers or infected friends). Some of these will steal your CS:GO inventory AND send the message to every online friend, sometimes it's just the message,  so I guess it does something outside Steam,  too.

If you get any message like "hey u need it?  - scammerwebsite" or "WTF - anotherweirdpage" just tell your friend and delete the comments. Normally these messages are written like that, so it's easy to spot.

Mangley:
If you haven't already done so make sure to verify your email address and enable Steam Guard in Steam's settings. This will make it so any computers that try to log into your Steam account will require email verification before being allowed to continue, you can also revoke access to machines that already have access through this system.
