I'm a Steam user, Steam forums user, and Valve customer and have received no email or notification. This story may not be as all-encompassing as it appears.
- elliottcarlson 15y agoSame here - no email received (and checking with co-workers, neither have they)
- joshuacc 15y agoI haven't received an email either.
- jarquesp 15y agoSame here, I haven't gotten any email from Steam. Luckily I also don't have my CC number on my account since I use PayPal. I also enabled authentication via email a while ago so it sends me a code to log in. I guess it's a good idea to change your password and check CC statements either way.
- Keyframe 15y agoPaypal here too. For situations like these I've opted to use paypal on steam and psn cards on psn. Now I'm glad I did, because both were compromised.
- jigs_up 15y agoThey have a lot of users to email, maybe it's coming? I still haven't anything either.

- zokier 15y agoSteam forums have that same message on their front page.
- primesuspect 15y agoIt's been confirmed on Steam forums. The letter said the messages will go out via Steam IM.
- mdmalinowski 15y agoI just opened up the Steam app and it displayed that message from Gabe.
- dholowiski 15y agoI haven't gotten the email either, but if the user database, including your email address and personal information has been stolen I would be _highly_ suspicious of any email I receive from Steam
- uxp 15y agoAnother "me too" to the haven't received notice of this yet, however a link over at r/gaming on Reddit points to this screenshot of the standard Steam Update News splash that pops up every time you login to the Steam Client. http://i.imgur.com/EcEUJ.png http://i.imgur.com/EcEUJ.png
- dylangs1030 15y agoNB: This email is in the works, it didn't mean it was already sent out. The audience reading this is full of Steam users, so part of the point of the article is forewarning before that email is sent out. But yes, the message is displayed on the front page of Steam as well.
- ahlatimer 15y agoFTA: "Today a message will be going out to all Steam users." I assume "will" means that it hasn't been sent, yet, but it will be at some point in the future. I haven't gotten one either, FWIW.
- stonemetal 15y agoI haven't gotten an email but the pop up with new offers from steam displayed it a few minutes ago for me.
- Natsu 15y agoFortunately, I have my account registered with a spamtrap email address, a username/password that I have never used elsewhere, and a very low limit credit card. Yeah, I'm glad I know better than to use a debit card. I'll be watching to see if anyone starts spamming me, because that spamtrap email is unique to my Steam account and has not been published elsewhere. Guess it pays to be paranoid.
- bh42222 15y agoFortunately, I have my account registered with a spamtrap email address, a username/password that I have never used elsewhere, and a very low limit credit card. Same here. But I am a bit sad that my paranoia has been confirmed yet again.
- MichaelApproved 15y agoDoesn't it stop being paranoia if you are correct?
- Natsu 15y agoIt's a matter of perspective. To most others, this still appears are paranoia. But I wouldn't be doing it if my experience didn't say that such problems occur far too often.
