Steam name and profile picture changed to someone elses? (was not hacked)
I left on vacation for a week, and came back to steam and my profile name and pfp was changed to RENA's account: https://steamcommunity.com/id/RenaNYC
And one of my showcases was unselected. I was not hacked and i checked my steam email to see if anyone had logged into my account and there's nothing. I was looking at high level steam accounts before i left and RENA was one of them. Anyone know what happened? Error or glitch?

I checked for malware; 0 detected, and i deathourized all devices.
However i checked the login history and almost all were from my state, however they would change locations every 20 or so logins. All of the ones that im sure were me had the OS type 16.
I was getting logins from Arkansas, one from texas, one from california, and a few from canada.
How concerned should i be?

I do have mobile auth, so no one should be able to log into my steam without my phone (added after getting hacked by a russian person in st petersburg). Also i looked the other login locations problem and the geolocation is very innaccurate and there is nothing to be concerned about.

Not very if you follow the instructions about and stop giving away your credentials on shady sites.

And you can easily change the IP, probably just one person.

i checked the logins and they all look like my activity. no windows logins except for today and before i left, and a few from my phone, where i was. no website logins or windows logins while i was gone. I think this was just an error.

There has never been a reported name change without user interaction on that account.

Also check PC names... https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/MachineAuthName

they all look like my devices used in the past and present. Like i said, i have a mobile auth, there should be no way to login without my phone.

You got hijacked by giving your info to a third party scam site. Hate to break it to you, but csgo gambling sites are not legit.

This just happened to me. I did all the steps mentioned above. Now the question is should I be worried henceforth ? Is there a way this can happen again even if I stop using any third party csgo sites ? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

For a start, do not hijack old threads. Make your own.

Also, if you follow the guide here, you should be OK. JUst stop going to ANY external sites fullstop. If you wish to trade or sell anything do it within steam or not at all. Because all those sites out ther are scams.
I'm experiencing the same situation. My profile picture has changed to a QR and it appears in a Chinese porn game. I have absolutely nothing to do with it. I don't know why. Where can I find out what has been logged into my account?
