either you dont give af about your pc, or you dont get it

and also, some random unknown person added you out of nowhere

to join a TOTALLY unknown team for a TOTALLY unknown tournament

and you had to login to a TOTALLY unknown site

and you seriously thought this is legit ?

---
thanks to such people we got all that security BS

-................

this is the last time i am going to comment it

you got your PC phished, through logging into a phishingsite, which got you some sort of virus, malware, probs some trojan and mostly keylogger

DO THE DAMN STEPS that got posted

No you fell for a scam.

The only website that needs your authenticatier is steam itself.

Do you treat your banking details the same way?
