Update: It appears the Steam Store is back online and the issue appears to be resolved. We have yet to hear from Valve in an official capacity, and will update the blog post when we do.
This was not a hack or a DDoS attack. This was highly likely to be a misconfiguration in one of Valve’s caching layers.
If you used a PayPal account and had the details saved, you can unlink your account by logging on PayPal.com and going to Settings and Preapproved payments under the Payment options heading.
Going forward, we strongly encourage you not to store your billing information on the Steam store. Valve have proven multiple times that they’re unable to keep their security standards to a high level.

更新了,STEAMDB说了这不是黑客攻击的问题,是SBEAM自己服务器配置错误,而且强烈推荐不要把自己的个人支付信息和渠道绑定在SBEAM上(比如信用卡和paypal),换言之银联这种三方结算反而还安全些…… 作者: ashunicorn 时间: 2015-12-26 09:49
This issue means that users’ private information such as email address, billing address, and sometimes credit card details are at risk. As far as we know, this issue is read-only, and no one is able to perform any actions involving your account on your behalf.
