Scammed items are not returned to the account. Stop giving out your log in credentials on scam sites
Account security is 100% the user's responsibility, and you failed in that task by using third party scam websites. You now have learned a very valuable lesson to not use your account credentials on any site that is not Steam itself.
You were not hacked. You gave away your login information to a shady site/individual. This is entirely your own fault.
YOU KNOW HIM? HE EMAILED ME, SAID HE WAS DYING BUT IF I COULD SEND $10,000, I WOULD GET A MILLION FROM HIS SON!
It's also not actually blaming what people do, but presenting responsibility. there is a major difference between the two. People who are victims of scams often are not to blame, but they still are responsible for their own actions *and* inactions.
The vast majority of Steam accounts that are breached are not due to browser exploits or any other route that would require actual hacking. They are phished. In that the account owner is convinced, in part due to their naivety or greed, to hand over their log in information. Valve have support articles for the common scams, but of course users tend not to bother looking at such information until it's too late.
It's usually because of data breaches in which a whole pool of emails and passwords are stolen and targeted by scammers
While such data breaches do happen and are well publicized, there is no evidence of such a breach happening on Steam. Even if your username and password were somehow leaked, they'll be useless without the 2FA code in Steam Guard. Most commonly the victim is simply tricked into willingly providing all the information necessary to get into the account, including the Steam Guard code.
As evidence, OP has a known scam trading/gambling site in their username history.
All third party trading/gambling sites are scams.
After some investigation into my situation I have decided to agree with you in regards to the community market place.
I have never used the marketplace or bothered with it aside from listing some random item up for £500 hoping a random patreon of good faith buys it. I have not played CS since they made it F2P (stupid idea) but as I see it after some investigating it seems to be that these skins in games are like some sort of OG nfts with people paying stupid amounts of money for virtual items.
I do think that OP may have downloaded malicious software unintentionally but that does not disregard the fact that his details have been phished and his account has been violated without any such action from steam as to repel dishonest cybercriminals from abusing steams service and basic international laws. It seems steam do not even warrant an investigation and proceed to allow people to abuse the marketplace by using it to launder stolen money as they do not care.
