Steam Server Overload?
It appears that a lot of people have an problem on steam with the store being in different languages. mine currently being in japanese. Dont worry. I'm guessing that a lot of people got steam cards or something like that for christmas so dont worry. A fix will be soon.

Even if they fix it, they have to explain why this happened. On why everyone has someone else's information. This is a big mess up for Valve.

It's a DDOS attack that has been going on for hours. Also people are accessing other users account details when signed into their own account. There are hundreds of threads on this already.

This seems more like a hack, not a glitch.

But the point is, is that people think this is a hack, and it isnt. its just something that happened to the steam servers.
EDIT: Ok this is a ddos

It's an external attack. Server overloads do not expose sensitive information about users to other users...

This has been going on for hours and was planned...

Apparently valve is having caching issues that they are currently fixing.
