Messages automatically sent to majority of my friends
I clicked on a link from a steam group post and it asked to sign in using steam, where I was already signed in, in my chrome browser, but it asked to put username & password and steam mobile guard authenticator code and i thought there is something fishy, so I logged out of all my devices.
Now when I launched steam i got response from many friends as 23 unread messages.
The message which was automatically sent is "Hey i need one more refferal to get a knife , can you please use code "zTc5t" on site **Link removed**, i will give you a share of 10 keys , thanks"

Need help to prevent my account from getting any kind of ban!!!:csgo_explosion:

Your account was compromised.

Scan for malware. https://www.malwarebytes.com/

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

Change your password on a secure device.

Generate new back up codes.

Revoke the api key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

NEVER post the scam sites on the forums.

Also the messages sent time is 10:30 pm PST, I had already logged out, revoked access to all devices before like at 6:47 pm PST. but the messages sent time is 10:30

Revoking was not enough.

ALL steps, in order.
