Steam’s alleged hack incident of 87M users seems exaggerated

Steam is the leading force of gaming on PC, not even Microsoft can take over Valve. An alleged hack has occurred a bit ago, and it sent the PC community spiraling into panic, however, there has been answers. Twilio has responded to the incident, Twilio is a company that collaborates with Valve as a third party for validating users through their API. According to BleepingComputer, they have reported that no data that was relevant has been breached and that users are safe. Trying to cover oneself from these sort of attacks is important, as a matter of fact, if you don’t have 2FA enabled, do so right now. We at Infinite Start will cover this debacle.

Steam seems to be safe

We really aren’t sure if this claim is true or not, but Twilio seems to actually care about doing their job right. At the same time, this is yet another company that has decided to automate their services with “AI”, which makes them prime for cyber attacks. People underestimate how easy it is to hack an “AI” system to help you do what you want, even revealing confidential data. Just a bit of prompting the right way can actually get you some pretty neat results that would otherwise not come out normally.

“AI” is classified by cyber security experts as an actual disruptive technology, leaving important and private data on the hands of an easily hack-able system is madness. We live in a world of madness however, especially with all the ongoing things that have been happening in various fronts. Just to ensure your account’s safety, maybe change the password and enable 2FA if you didn’t.

Steam is one of the safest platforms for gaming, the 2FA protocol they have is pretty much unbreakable. Hackers do not give up however, and things that seemed unbreakable in the past have been pwned by them.
