Question about random code on comment

[Ruminate]

Hi I got a random code posted in a comment on my profile. I deleted the comment and document the code. Is it for something on Steam? Is this trusted or should it not be used?

[wingdings]

it's probably just spam. don't pay any mind to it. ignore it and move on.

Trust nothing given to you randomly. Most likely a phishing link.

I'm in your Steam Community, h4x0ring your profile comments.

section	.text
   global _start        ;must be declared for using gcc
	
_start:	                ;tell linker entry point
   mov ecx,10
   mov eax, '1'
	
l1:
   mov [num], eax
   mov eax, 4
   mov ebx, 1
   push ecx
	
   mov ecx, num        
   mov edx, 1        
   int 0x80
	
   mov eax, [num]
   sub eax, '0'
   inc eax
   add eax, '0'
   pop ecx
   loop l1
	
   mov eax,1             ;system call number (sys_exit)
   int 0x80              ;call kernel

It was not a link, just a code like one receives as a redeemable.

I will post for example the format, though this was no the real code: AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC

it's spam. trash the comment and forget about it.

Do not use it. There has been reports of account hijackers doing this.
First they give you a game code,
Then they tell steam support that they are the original owner of your account and use the receipt for that given game as proof of ownership.

Oh, very well, thanks. I asked because I see that Steam have redeemable gift codes and I was not sure if it would be used on the platform.

if someone sends you a code randomly, don't use it. period.
