So I came home today to a message coming up on steam: "Your account has been signed onto another computer".

I tried to re-log in, but my password was changed. I went to my e-mail, two e-mails from steam,

Dear funky_finny,

This email message confirms that your Steam account contact email address has been successfully changed.

Dear funky_finny,

This email message confirms that your Steam account password has been successfully changed.

I did notice this morning that my friends name had been changed to something like Firenight, but thought my brother was on my computer so thought nothing of it

So yeah, I'm just saying that if I say anything weird or abusive on Steam it's not me. Currently working on getting my dad off his arse to input his credit card details to change my password back.

And if anyone wants to talk to my account to see if you can find out who it is that'd be nice.

Someone could have taken your email account password, sent in a forgot my steam password request?

I was online and he was swearing at me for 15 minutes. Then he said he had hacked your account and I thought it was you covering up for an outburst.

Did you lose many games?

I've not used the steam e-mail for ages either lol. I might change it to my more recent email address. I'll go change my email pass now.

What the fuck lol, I just changed my hotmail pass. Turns out I registered the email 3 years ago today. Lol.

@Poschy, I've not lost it yet, and I've only got TF2 on it.

...And Insurgency, but that's free innit.

This is what happens when you Warez and pirate looots of game .exe files hidden away in secretive .rar archives, tbh .

I'd do a fair few virus, spyware and trojan scans of your computer. You'll be very (un)pleasantly surprised.

Keylogger? By 'used' I was unsure whether the ambiguity meant "registered with a new service/site with the same password" or "have typed in the Steam password in the last 2-3 years". Keyloggers and trojans are ridiculously common within software/game/crack torrents.

I hate to say it, but I think Uzique is right. I think I've got a keylogger. My hotmail password has changed.

Tracking cookies aren't really threatening. Did it find anything notable?

Pretty much just marketing companies recording your browsing behaviour to see what to advertise and stuff. They aren't really dangerous but some people religiously delete them claiming they are an invasion of privacy.

Cookies that track you, duh.

It's some ad shit.

You might do. But not exclusively. You can get them from lots of sites.
