Why does the Steam Bio say this new stuff?

[Keter]

So I was going to edit my Steam Bio to have some different stuff when I clicked onto it and it says now.

"The text in the box below is information you asked to be displayed on your profile.

Steam Support will never attempt to communicate with you through this feature. If you did not enter this text, your account may have been compromised. Please visit this support FAQ to learn more about how to recover your account."

I get it a nice reminder but it made me think something funny happened over "Make sure to be safe online"

It's not new. It was added over a year and a half ago.

But it is there because people can't stop giving away their account info, getting hijacked and hijackers changing their bio to scare the users into giving up their items or money.

Weird I wouldnt think of that but i guess that makes sense?

Weird to do it like that.

It's so when the hijacker changes the info, the user clicks on "View more info" and will be greeted with the message hoping they will immediately secure their account. But in reality, most don't (completely ignore it) and lose everything.

I see tens of accounts every day with scam messages left in their bio's.
