What on earth is happening because when I'm trying to read this thread it's completely catastrophic. I don't know if it's just somebody that hijacked that guys account or if he's a Chinese spy or poo person but it's not good. I'm trying to pull up this thread and it's shifting everything over to an old deal, we're an older version of the forum.
I'm not making this up it's bizarre. Lock him down.

God damn it it's happening again. I tried to post the what the fuck gif, but it linked both of them in a two separate deals and I'm never had that problem ever using the forum.
Point being is there something that's really screwed up and probably dangerous and would it get rid of whoever the fucj or whatever the hell is doing this.

There was a huge breach of gmail accounts recently. That's probably cascading access to other platforms.

Had nothing to do with passwords I thought. Seems odd that it would affect discord in a way that subverts 2fa too.

Since when did people here start voting for shit sans tits, swear to god everything is going down the shitter.Hatorade sent me a DM on Steam asking me to vote for some team at ESL Benelux which I guess is a defunct CS event. Anyway I clicked on something and unthinkingly put my Steam credentials in and when I was going to get the authentication code from my email it said the request was from the Russian Federation. Already changed my password and I think 2FA would have protected the account anyway but be aware.
I got no response from him yet from a DM on here and the Steam account stopped responding when I told him to respond to my DM on the forum if he wasn't hacked.
Im not a very active poster but even I know the proper reply shouldve been tits or gtfo.
Shit... gavinmad is compromised too TRUST NO ONE!!!!

Curious if the guys who got hacked were running Steam Guard and had the mobile app - I have always had notifications there for any login attempts, but I'm thinking a website like that might be able to cheat it since it's somehow coming from a trusted device.

Read thread, but yes I do on everything and use unique passwords for anything that matters.

I think part of it was that it was Hatorade. A lot of other people I would have just ignored. I don't follow ESL and I hadn't heard about the previous scams.
I think we're just getting old. I just /sighed, paused Stellaris, went off to 'vote', and then back to gayming.
The part that annoys me the most isn't having to change passwords and such. It's that there's at least one person who doesn't post here anymore, who has now blocked me, and Steam was the only point of contact I had if wanted to reach out to them.
The second most annoying thing is that looking back at it now, it wasn't just a red flag....it's like a clown car full of clowns who all have red flags, and they're in the middle of piling out and fighting each other...and I didn't even blink. So fucking weird.

Hopefully the mass blocks didn’t also report me and I lose my Steam account.
Also let it be known I would never ask for votes, I am gonna ask you opinions on games your playing and if you want to play something.
