NEW HACK or loop hole in steam

[(IG) MarkieBakesMorre™]

I and 5-7 other members were hacked by the same person all on the same day in a short amount of time. I DO NOT click on any links not even group events, I do not play F2p games, I do not use any 3rd party sites and have more protection on my network and system then 90% of steam users. Long story short the guy stole around $250 in skins and a knife from me and another $2,000-$3,000 of items from other people and he is still doing it. I was able to track down what was on my system after losing my items i had a Inject exe trojan horse in my steam folder which was created at the same time as my update on the 28th and i was then hacked on the 28th. I had to do a total factory reset just to be safe, but before i did Steam did another update and the file was gone from quarantine, what is up with that? I am just trying to warn people about this new hacking method, the person was in my e-mail and even opted out of my e-mail verification. It was a good thing that i caught it after only being away for 30 seconds and auto changed all passeords using my encryption software which i have no idea how he got past my 3 protection programs which have military grade firewalls and password encryption. I never worried about hackers because i know how they use phishing and key logging and try to get you to click on links. I did nothing and did not download or click any links so how did this happen?

Firstly the trojan is a red herring. It sounds more like your anti-virus got carried away with its heuristics, when was cleaned up once the anti-virus was updated.

You were likely phished or something. That's the most likely and logical explanation.

Encryption and firewalls only protect data. They don't protect your system from what is essentially the main problem with security.

You.

People are the weakest link. You bandy about 'encryption' despite the fact that 'encryption' is utterly meaningless locally with respect to attacks on your credentials. You talk about firewalls despite the fact that no actual 'hacking' on steam is that sophisticated to punch through your firewall.

You clearly downloaded something by clicking a malicious link. The 'loophole' is down to you and not Steam. If you and others were all hacked on the same day by the same person; you all must have unwittingly clicked on something. Phishing material/Malware can only be downloaded to a users PC to work.

Also; try and use a top-end anti-virus that can track and scan files before any are downloaded.

this is where it came from, i have not downloaded anything since TS3 6 months ago and again i do not click on any links also i use AVG data safe and keep all my stuff in there. My network password changes every 50ms

i have the ability to track ip addresses and it came through with a steam update which was implemented on the 28th when i logged in

[The Giving One]

AVG is garbage. Please use paragraphs in the future, or fix it now....this is soooo hard to read and follow.

[(IG) MarkieBakesMorre™]

on the 28th it was reported that over 1 million USD in items were hijacked in a 4 hour period, thats just horrible. I am just trying to warn people that are safe like me that they can get into anybodies ip address and they have a new BOT system also

[Tev]

Where was it reported? Source, please.

[Satoru]

That only proves where the attacker is. That doesnt prove the update magically came from steam for a russian hacker? Please.

Plus changing your 'network password' every 50ms? You seem to really not actually understand security protocols. AVG Data safe is simply an encryption package. Which again has ABSOLUTELY ZERO to do with intrusion security.

You seem to have a lot of fancy tools, yet have no idea how to actually use them.

Have AVG ultimate MCafee total and a military grade program that must remain un-named due to it is not available to the public

AVG is rubbish - I used to run that and it was loaded with false-positives every time I did a Steam update. As Satoru said; it's a red herring and you were phished some other way. Steam updates do not contain Malware and if they did; tens/hundreds of thousands of users would all experience the same thing. It has never happened and it never ever will.

Yet, you were hijacked.

So let's stop this 'military grade' stuff now.

......

THREE anti-virus products? Really? There's a reason no one does that.

May I suggest you figure out what the tools actually do before blindly installing stuff you apparently have no idea how to use. And then blame Steam for some magical 'hack' that you can't actually prove happened.

it was a Inject.exe again not a red herring

[(IG) MarkieBakesMorre™]

if you use the good parts of each program they work great together, just have to tweak all your settings
