    Since when do you have to link your phone number to your Steam account? I’ve had an account for as long as Steam has existed, and I’ve never been asked to provide my phone number.

    I had assumed it was BS as soon as I saw the price of just $5k.

      From what I understand personal info is peanuts. You buy it in bulk, cheap.

        It was put out that everyone should change their passwords. That kind of info for like 90 million steam accounts would fetch a much higher price or ransom than some personal info on a bunch of people like names, phone numbers and an address.
