Valve reassures Steam users after mishap exposes account info

Steam users got a Christmas surprise on Friday when library and account details for other users started appearing where their own account information was supposed to be.

The service shut down briefly and the issue was fixed within an hour. Steam gatekeeper Valve Software is now trying to reassure users that their private information is safe, though the incident was at the very least disconcerting.

The company says the issue sprung up after a “configuration change” on Valve’s side created caching issues, causing temporarily stored data — normally used to speed up the Steam client’s performance — to appear in places it shouldn’t have. Sensitive details such as credit card numbers are automatically censored on user account pages, which mitigates the potential harm of someone having seen your personal data. …

Valve confirms Steam issue resolved, explains what happened

Gaming company Valve has now confirmed that the Steam security issue that allowed unauthorized access to other users’ personal information has been resolved and the service is now back up.

“Steam is back up and running without any known issues,” a Valve spokesperson said. The company also revealed that the issue occurred due to a configuration change.

We believe no unauthorized actions were allowed on accounts beyond the viewing of cached page information and no additional action is required by users.”

Can Fintech Fix Financial Services?

A review of the new Michael Lewis movie The Big Short describes a scene during the 2008 financial crisis in which renters were “kicked out of their homes because their landlord didn’t pay the mortgage, even though they were making their rent payments in full.” It serves as one of many examples of how our malfunctioning financial system produces fundamentally unfair outcomes.
