Are community servers safe?

[dunc]

I know official servers are safe, but I want to surf and I'm just wondering if its been deemed safe to use community servers

Thanks for the help!

My steam friend's account got hacked yesterday. I would advice you to stay away from any community server just for your sake.

and don't click on any link from steam message or don't go to any website where it asks from steam login. Hope this helps.

The first part of your messages makes it sounds like he needs to stay away, which is nonsense. Your friend got 'hacked' by clicking random links. The earlier you and him realise that, the better for everyone involved.
