🚨 WARNING: Steam Security Failed Me – My $4000 CS2 Inventory Was Stolen Even After Blocking My Account! 🚨

Hello everyone,

I want to share my terrible experience with Steam's so-called "security system" and warn you all to be extra careful. If this can happen to me, it can happen to anyone!

What Happened to Me:
🔹 On February 14th, my Steam account was hacked.
🔹 The moment I noticed unauthorized activity, I immediately used Steam’s official account recovery link to BLOCK my account, exactly as Steam instructs users to do.
🔹 Despite my account being officially blocked, the hacker was still able to log in, refund my games, and transfer my entire CS2 inventory to their own account like nothing happened.
🔹 I lost over $4000 worth of CS2 skins that I spent years grinding for and purchasing through legitimate transactions.

Steam’s Response?
When I contacted Steam Support, expecting help and protection, their response was shocking:
❌ "We cannot restore lost items, nor provide compensation."
❌ "The security of your account is your responsibility."
❌ "We’re closing this ticket."

So let me get this straight…
🚨 Steam provides an account block link, but it does nothing.
🚨 Hackers can still access your blocked account and steal everything.
🚨 Steam does not take any responsibility for its own security failures.

Why This is a Huge Problem
People trust Steam’s security and spend thousands of dollars on in-game items. Yet, Steam is allowing hackers to:
✔️ Bypass security blocks
✔️ Steal valuable items from legitimate users
✔️ Refund and take money out of hacked accounts

And Steam refuses to do anything about it.

What We Can Do
I refuse to let this go. If you have experienced something similar, let’s unite and file complaints together. Steam must be held accountable for allowing this to happen!

🔹 Report Steam’s weak security on social media (Twitter/X, Steam Community, Reddit, etc.)
🔹 Demand Steam to restore stolen inventory or provide compensation
🔹 Make people aware that Steam’s security is NOT as strong as they claim

If we don’t act, this will keep happening to other players.

Final Words
I will never spend another dollar on Steam after this. I have seen firsthand how weak and careless their security system is. Meanwhile, the website I built myself is far more secure than Steam’s system.

🚨 If you value your account and inventory, be extremely careful. This can happen to anyone. 🚨

👉 Has anyone else had a similar experience? Let's talk!

simply do not use third party trading :selphinehappy:
it's extremely common to get your items stolen like that when you are handing your credentials out

I've seen worse. There are people with +1 Million US dollars in their mobile game app "Star Trek Fleet Command" and Scopely when merging dead servers had an oopsie and deleted many players with over $1 million in a mobile game. They all got nothing back. lol
(people on that game with waaay over $2 million in the game now)

You got api key'd lmao. That's what happens when you sign into shady 3rd party sites. Sucks to suck

Blaming Steam for your mistake using the site cs float and giving away your account info is shameful.

You willingly gave out your details, this is your fault, not Valves.

The Goliath that is multi billion USD corporations spits in the face of consumers unfortunately and they can get away with it thanks to their well crafted ToS and being able to spend more on litigation than the average Joe who probably can't afford a decent lawyer.


That’s true, but justice exists, right? Why doesn’t Steam help its users? Steam can see everything happening to an account, or do they just mock people, thinking we can’t do anything about it?

Never had that obviously, and you were not hacked.
The best lock is useless if you hand out the key.

Oh really? Is that what you think? Then where do you think the inventory from my account went?

To the person behind the phishing login page on cs float.

Went to the people that took your items of course. You were not hacked because no steam account has ever been hacked

It went to another account, after you gave out your details.
