This LITERALLY tells you what happened. It's not a Bug, the account blocked you, plain and simple.
Maybe he did it on purpose, maybe his account is compromised, either way, you are blocked.

They've blocked you. Maybe problem is on their side (compromised account), maybe on yours, maybe they've decided that they won't talk to you.

To avoid scenario - problem on your side; follow steps 1-6 to secure your account:

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.
3. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
4. Change passwords from a trusted/clean device.
5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)
