A message was sent to all my friends and it was't me
this message "this is for you - URL" was set to all my friends from my account but it wasn't me, the messages got sent at 1 minute difference between friends.
I'm confused because I never got a warning of someone logging con my account, and the link doesn't look malicious at all, but i'm still worried, is there something I could do?

If your account is the one distributing the links without your knowledge then it is compromised and you need to address this urgently by doing the following steps:-

1. Scan for malware. https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.
3. Deauthorize all other devices. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
4. Change passwords from a clean computer.
5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key (there should be no key). https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

He isn't "hacked" at all, he gave away his account information. Everything he needs to know is already in this Thread. Just tell him to read.

If and when he does he will have to follow the Steps provided in this Thread to secure his account. Provided he still has access to it.

Otherwise he will have to follow these steps while being logged out:
