Account hacked by bot
Please help! :komari:
When checking my log in history, I can see hundreds of logins from a -73 OS type that is obviously not me. I noticed when a few days ago it was trading/selling all my items in the marketplace. I scanned for malware, changed all my passwords, set up steam guard and disabled access from other devices etc... but it seems like the bot is still there.
Got put on trading cooldown so its dormant for now but won't be soon enough.

I've contacted steam but am not hopeful that they'll be useful. Does anyone have an advice?
Thanks so much in advance <3

Revoke your API key, deauthorize all other devices, change password.

That'll lock your hijacker out. Afterwards, Fix your security hole. "They" got into your account most likely through phishing so educate yourself on phishing.

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)
