Is anything gonna be done about this steam acc hack wave?
I have had like 5 + friends get hacked now by some CS:GO scam lol. Its just snowballing is anything being done about it?

Just a warning someone will be on your friends acc and be asking for you to vote for their team. If you click the link it asks for your steam info. If you are stupid enough to put that info in you get hacked.

Gotta be pretty stupid to actually put your info but it seems to be getting alot of people lol.

So far the scammers that took over the friend account always say the same things. They start with 'yo dude, yo bro are you there?'. And they don't respond to your own chat. If you say anything back they will ignore it. Perhaps it is a bot and not even a person.

So the 'right' response to links in chat/messages/email/websites/etc./etc. is to never click on them.
And every one of these communication methods allows links.

(I do realize there are plenty of instances where the medium doesn't allow links but I'm overstating it for effect.)

Why is this commonly exploited method enabling criminal behavior allowed?

The generic answer: having this feature is associated with better financial results for whomever is providing the 'service/feature'. So it will never be voluntarily removed.

No, that's a ludicrous stance to take. Users must exercise caution when clicking on random links and not give away their Steam credentials to random 3rd party sites. There's probably 10m chat links exchanged in chat each day with 99% being safe.

I agree and I once again proved being sarcastic in forums like this and everyone 'getting' it is difficult at best. Mostly I was responding to the people that like to call everyone an idiot that falls prey to the scammers.

It's always a bot. Always has been. The only way to scale spam and scam is through automation.

The human being is usually at the end of the hose where profits drop (which may not even be a Steam account at all)

Regardless if anything will be done about this, which it wont, which is ok; Its an interesting insight into the human sheep and what manipulates them.

LOL, reminds me of a time when one social 'fad' was to be a nonconformist.

When asked what behavior made them a nonconformist most would answer, "Not doing what everybody else is doing. I'm unique!"

The followup question would be if they knew any other nonconformists. The answer was always, "Yeah! Lots of them!"

The person who "has to talk about something serious" is a bot?
I am not sure they would leave the pool of easy acceptors alone with a bot.

With premade sentences a human could accomplish that phase easyly, while being able to react with this or that if necessary.

The bot is the selactor
They send the first message (reported by mestike, please vote for my team, get X sign up and so on)
When it gets to Discord I think it may be human
But not sure

There enguth for them to lose some users on the way but cut on work

Pretty much.

The first part of the scam is pretty much on autopilot.
"Hi, this is Steam admin. You'have a pending report [link to video]. Please contact us here for further proceeeding [link to discord] or your account will be banned"

We have to keep in consideration at any given moment a scammer might be spreading the scam through dozens or hundreds of accounts at the same time. Spreading the message upon hundreds of Steam accounts. It's a waste of resources to be there with 100 Steam chat tabs open to deliver a pretty much automated message which also serves as a filter. The scammer is really only interested in people who will follow the first step without question. They want the easy prey (scams always cast a LARGE net for that purpose), not the ones who have to be convinced every step of the ladder.

Once you get to 'live support' now you're talking to a real person.

(Of course there's cases where the scam is run by a live person all the way, but that's usually small game)

I can not solve the turing test, as no one wants to talk about something serious randomly in chat with me.
