Someone sends gift cards link to my steam friends, while i'm online 👀
And yesterday someone give steam rewards to other accounts with my profile.

Obviously it's a scam, but how are they doing it? How can i fix this?

All steps...

Scan for malware. https://www.malwarebytes.com/ (or with whatever)

Deauthorize all devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

Change your password on a secure device.

Generate new back up codes. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

Revoke the api key (this should be empty) https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

Ok thanks.

I had already changed the login email for my account a few days ago, and today also the password as a precaution.

Set again Steam Guard, revoking all devices.

I have only now to scan my PC, and revoke this API key.

My question is: how can be happened? I was also online on that moment.

It's like i've done this by myself. No one have hack my PC apparently.

Somewhere along the lines you allowed your credentials to be captured - either by malware on your device or by giving them away to a 3rd party site in which they were phished. These are not instant either so you could've been hijacked for some considerable time before they decided to act.

My issues starts from this summer, with someone which hacked my google account with all related services: Youtube, Payments ecc ecc...
All my datas were compromised, but slowly i've changed e-mail and password for most important things.

I changed PC but at this point i don't understand how to leave all of this.

The account data pages can error out from time to time.

Login History can suffer with rate limits too.
