Hacked on Rocket League
I was just trading with some guy on Rocket League when he send me a link to his main steam profile. He said that if I wanted to trade I had to add him. When I clicked on this page I logged off automatic. I got several mails from steam that someone was trying to log in on my account (from RU and SE). I changed my password and logged back in. I started Rocket League and almost all my special items were gone. I looked into the chat with that guy and the link to the profile was gone... Someone know what to do now and if there is a way that I can get my items back?

I clicked on the link in the steamchat with the guy who wanted to trade. It was a normal link to just an other profile (I thought it was a normal link?). I couldn't add him because i wasn't logged in in the steam overlay. I got an error while logging in and wanted to go back and play. When I closed the steam overlay I got the notification that I was offline and I couldn't reconnect.

If you were chatting with him through the Steam Chat, you should not have to log into anything else.

:qr:
The login site was a fake then.
The steps described above should save you.

IF you didnt re-use the details for email or anything else

That was your mistake, you don't need to login if you're using the steam overlay, you just gave away all your personal info for them to login into your account.
Just a side note:
Without going into details, even legit links can be exploits to steal your data. So tend to not use links given by randoms. Especially if there is no reason.

(Not a current warning for steam as is)

Im pretty sure it was actual steam. I have had that same thing that i had to relog earlier and thought it was a bug.

Ah that's unfortunate, but my account and personal information are a bigger problem. Thanks for helping me out.

It wasnt steam.
For the simple reason, if it was steam, you wouldnt have been logged out and lost your items. And you wouldnt have had to log in again the first place.
And you wouldnt have gotten an "error" while logging in. That error was actually just the way of him telling you, "i need a second one of your steam guard codes".

And the real steam link would still be in the chat.

Hmmm, it is indeed my fault then. Thanks for helping me out.
