Look at this noob

you should really rethink calling people noob when you also failed at protecting your account log in. if you havent already done so, secure it NOW

Steps to take NOW:
1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
3. Change passwords from a clean computer
4. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)

the easiest way into an account is to have the account owner hand over the log in. figure out how you did that.

this kind of account hijacking is common enough because people dont take the security of their account serious. there are multiple posts made daily about it from the victims. some get lucky and dont trade their items away, others are not so lucky. there are a few variations on this scam tactic, but they all require the account owner to give out their log in.

Malware byte is easy to bypass by setting the port to 80 or 8080 , learn more about rats before talking ^^

I don't understand your reasoning to start this topic? Are you wanting help or do you just want to degrade anyone who responds to you?

best way to attract with people who take what ever they like to hear instead of reading the full topic with an open mind , so best way to to have a conversation with toxic people is to be one of them ^^

The only person I see being toxic here is you. You were offered explanation and help for the problem you faced. If you figured it out on your own then fantastic. No reason to call the others names.

Your account is accessed by someone else.

But by how you talk here, you did not need the topic and know more by yourself. I recommend to do the steps to save you account though.

Which is completely bogus by the way. Port 80, http, is used by webservers whereas 8080 is commonly used by web proxy servers. Basically: the same thing.
