Accounts are phished not hacked.

You gave away all your account details.

The account name, the password and the KEY to the door, the Steam Guard Mobile code giving them access to the account.

How? by either logging into a known scam site or sites, tailored malware on your PC, the vote for my team scam, you have a pending ban scam on Discord, free knife click the link etc.

How does Steam (a program) know it is not you when all the account details are correct? It doesn't, therefore any action taken on your account is seen as you doing said actions.

The alternative is not plausible:

1) Someone would have to "GUESS" your account name from "millions of possible combinations".

2) Next they would have to "GUESS" your password from "millions of possible combinations" and then match it to your account name with "millions of possible combinations".

3) And finally they would have to "GUESS" the Steam Guard Mobile code "which changes every 30 seconds" to match both your account name and password to then have access your account.

A lock, no matter how sturdy, is powerless when its keeper, smiling, hands over the key to a stranger and says "Take all you can carry, and when you are done, change the locks so that I may never return."

Does this seem strangely familiar?

Yes, for it is the very way in which things came to be ...

Only "known" to people allergic to the concept of personal responsibility. Fact is these "hacks" require action and cooperation on the part of the victim. Victims are fooled into providing login information or they're fooled into installing malware. Scammers utilize the weakest link in the security chain; You. They play on your fear, your emotions, your greed, your gullibility, and your ignorance. These are all easily exploitable weaknesses.

"But it’s victim blaming!"

No, it’s reality.

True victim blaming happens when someone is held responsible for something they had no reasonable way of preventing, such as blaming a burglary victim who had their doors locked and security cameras installed.

This? This is just someone disregarding clear security warnings and then acting shocked when things go south.

Instead of trying to twist responsibility into a moral argument, take this as a learning experience. Protect your account. Stop giving away your password like a free sample at the grocery store. And, most importantly, understand that actions have consequences.

So ... accounts that are a big fan of everything Anti-Valve, aren't really gonna get this lesson. Nope, what we’ll get instead is a chorus of "But, ..." responses. It’s like a game we all know the rules to, and frankly, I’m a little tired of playing.
