New Type Of Scam. (Give It a read) Type no one talks about

[KRATOS]

It happened with me and I made discussion post about it.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/3834297685600290191/

The way I got scammed wasn't by using my API key.
I downloaded pirated software from long trusted cracker and it was the reason why it happened.

In my case it was Hogwarts Legacy (EMPRESS CRACK) YES!! empress, that homophobic person who is kinda trusted and was recently banned from reddit

It had a virus which put malware in my browser (CHROME). If your steam was logged in there then that's how they created sell orders.

You wouldn't be suspicious of crack cause in info crackers always ask you to turn your firewall off cause how the crack works and drm.

Later I use Malwarebytes to clean my system. And even Hard Reset my system.

My other accounts must also be hijacked like my genshin acc was and twitter too
they even tried hijacking my facebook and play ads on it.

I've stopped piracy since then and now buy game from steam.
Be safe and trade responsibly

Cant fking trust anybody.
Hope this helps.

Pirated software or cracked software has always been a source of malware or spyware infection for atleast 20 years this has been going on. This isnt new.

I meant way of hijacking steam. No one talks about this. If someone is hijacked all people say is either its API or he/she was dumb to have send voluntarily

sailing the sea is indeed a dangerous journey but I have a feeling you probably downloaded it off a fake site or something, no one as reputable as empress would put malware in their software

Wouldnt they need access to your mobile authentication too? And why do we need 2 threads about this?

This type of virus/malware is as old as PC gaming.

Im talking about before that point, in order to get permission to list items wouldnt they have needed the mobile authenticator?

pirated games have nearly always trojans in them. that's how the crackers earn their money for their effort. nothing comes for free.
Never disable antivirus software as a consumer.

Nice post about using illegal software in public. It's your fault you get scammed. You get what you deserve. You should get scammed more if you ask me. This post also got reported to valve and the authorities.
