Chinese Hackers Are Running Amok.
So apparently, my steam account credentials were no longer valid. Had to change my password and everything. Once I get back in, it said the last login was made in China. Fortunately, my credit information wasn't currently registered into Steam, so at least I won't get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over. But yeah, chinese people really want my account for some odd reason.

If you had Steam Guard enabled and someone was actually able to log into your account, your computer may be infected (unless you fell for a phishing scheme and manually uploaded your Steam Guard file).

If you only got an e-mail notification that someone was "trying" to log into the account or change your password, that is different and could be ignored. Someone with a Ukraine IP tried to reset the password for my support account, but not even sure how they guessed at the username, because it is different than anything I use on Steam. My existing password still worked, so I ignored the password change request.

My SteamGuard was enabled, but my password was change. Steam proceeded to tell me that my account may have been compromised. I then changed my password to [N/A].

To show the problem with the logic:
If someone changed your password, why do you think changing the password of steam would help?
As changing the password requires
account name and password of steam AND email.

So these details are leaking or your computer was used remotely.
By an infection.
