Valve reacts to steam culplic rumors: “This was not a violation of steam systems”

A leak of old text messages that were sent to Steam customers with unique codes for registrations was “no violation of Steam systems”, according to a article published on Wednesday.

Valve's answer follows the news that a hacker is said to have 89 million user records in possession and that it is for sale for 5,000 US dollars Bleed Reports. Bleed I viewed 3,000 leaked files and found “historic SMS text messages with unique passcodes for Steam, including the recipient's telephone number”.

While an X user claimed that there is evidence that are related to the violation of Twilio, a Twilio spokesman said, said it Bleed that “there is no evidence that Twilio has been violated” and that “we have checked a sample of the data found online and see no evidence that this data has been received from Twilio”. Valve also informed the X user that it does not use Twilio.

“The leak consisted of older text messages that contained unique codes that were only valid for 15-minute time frames and the telephone numbers they sent,” says Valve in his post. “The leaked data did not link the telephone numbers with a Steam account, password information, payment information or other personal data. Old text messages cannot be used to violate the security of your Steam account. If a code is used to change your steam -E or password using SMS, you will receive confirmation by e -mail and/or steam secure messages.”

Valve adds that you do not have to change your password or telephone number after this leak. However, it recommends setting up the Steam Mobile Authenticator.

The company says it is “still immersed in the source of the leak”.
