Steam hack and scammers.

[SUperflink]

Steam is a haven for scammer and hackers. Steam do NOTHING for its own but keep scammers and hackers free play. My son and I reported a scammer. They could see how he got cheated but did nothing. Just wrote not their problem!!!

See Nooblets video also have a similar problem with inactive og hack/scamfriendly steam support. They not even ban accounts they now is hack/scam. Is it some of their own employes or just extremely lazy or indifferent.

2. Your PSA thread don't work because people generally don't visit the forums or don't watch videos until after the fact.
3. This video literally makes no sense. How Steam Support would help anyone if the users are the ones giving away their account info?

It's 100% secure if you don't click on links and sign into any third party sites

Nobody "hacks" Steam Accounts, you can stop spreading this myth. The only way for anyone to get access to your account is for you to not secure it properly, for example by handing out your account information.

I can tell you it happended to my son. We tried to stop it. Before we could do anything he sold all his items. Luckily at that time he did not have expensive skins. So it is like that. No help from steam that time either.

What did you establish the attacker’s method-of-entry to be?

Your son didn't get hacked.

The probably fell for a phishing scam and handed over their account details.

Steam could very easy help with scammers (not talking about hacking). If a scammer trick anyone to do something and you can provide all the nesecary information/documentaion and it is more or less clear for all that that account is used for scamming. Why would or should they not help?? Thousends of kids use this platform too. No help is in my perspective a useless platform and is to be warned about.

They used to help with recovering stolen items.

then people started faking stolen items to get duplicates to sell on the market so they stopped.

On my sons phone he had an app for 2 step verification. We dont know for sure but we suspect and a friend of mine working more with software than me think its through that app. Steam just say no. But how else could someone else take over account. I coant tell how. No comment or help from steam.

Phishing. That’s the vector. There are many topics which show the many ways such phishing is accomplished.

Have you even examined or attempted to eliminate that as a possibility?

This is why as a parent YOU should be in control on there mobile Authenticator with Steam Guard on. That way YOU authorise every trade and YOU decide if it's safe to enter there Steam Guard code.

So your kid didn't get hijacked and scammed, YOU, the parent did.

If you gave you house keys to a stranger and that stranger unlocks you doors and steals stuff your home insurance will be Void as you didn't keep your home secure. Why should Steam behave any differently? They provide the tools it's up to users to use them securely

It's also possible the account that received item were also compromised

So you say that kids that are tricked on this platform (and can be documented) should get no help and the user scamming should not be stopped? The scammers steal from kids and you say why steam should not help?

i think you might want to look at it from another point of view. someone steals form you its that simple. it can be proved and they dont want to help. very simple. no reason to justify a thief or someone doing nothing

Their PARENTS are to blame. This is why when I setup my Nephews Computer I put his Steam Guard on my Sisters phone so he can't login on phishing sites or confirm trades.

When did parents stop protecting their kids and expecting companies to do it for them?
