Yup you're being hijacked because you probably gave your credentials to scam sites. Don't make any trade

Did you log into any third party websites using your Steam credentials as of late?

There's your problem right there. The O N L Y place you should log-in with your credentials is Steam itself.

Your account was compromised by one of those websites.

He IS on the "compromised/hijacked" account right now.

There is no bug on Steam that resets your name to your Community ID64 and also posts that stupid message in the bio on the profile page.

No worries I pretend someone hacked my account when I have done something I regret or embarrassing.

Works every time.

Not hacked, willfully gave away your details to a scam site.

I guessed correctly before even reading the post. Just the title.

Every single time.
