My steam account was stolen
Hi, this morning I received a notification in thai language, that my steam account email has been changed. So now I can't access my main account anymore. I don't know how to go about recovering it.
Changing the password is useless as the associated email is now different. Could anyone tell me how to resolve this situation? A thousand thanks.

when you get to the part where they ask for mail and password you type in what ever on your account name is needed

You need to be signed out of all Steam accounts for this to work, otherwise, you'll end up in a loop.

You DO NOT need access to the email, phone or password currently tied to the hijacked account for this to work. Just pick the "I do not have access..." or a similar option when asked. JUST SCROLL DOWN.

If it still doesn't work, just type in a random bunch of letters and go from there.

You can skip the first step.
