Data Breach affecting over 89 million Steam accounts (about two-thirds of all users)

- Alleged Breach: On May 12, 2025, @MellowOnline1 reported a massive data breach affecting over 89 million Steam accounts (about two-thirds of all users). The compromised data was allegedly being sold for over $5,000 on a site similar to "Mipped," a platform linked to illicit activities like developer blackmailing and review manipulation.

- Supply Chain Compromise: An update clarified that this wasn’t a direct breach of Steam’s systems but a supply chain attack. Initially, Twilio, a third-party service used for sending 2FA codes via SMS, was identified as the compromised vendor.

- Valve’s Response: On May 14, 2025, a Valve representative contacted @MellowOnline1, stating that Valve does not use Twilio, contradicting earlier claims about the breach’s source.

### Leaked Data and Implications

- Leaked Information: The exposed data includes:
- Real-time SMS logs for 2FA.
- Message contents (e.g., 2FA codes).
- Delivery status (sent, delivered, failed).
- Metadata (timestamps, recipient numbers).
- Routing costs.

- Potential Risks:
- Phishing: Hackers could craft convincing fake messages using the leaked data.
- Session Hijacking: Attackers might intercept or replay 2FA codes to bypass security.

### Ongoing Advice for Users

Despite Valve’s clarification, the threat persists as data is still claimed to be sold. Users are urged to:
- Change their Steam passwords.
- Enable Steam Guard, Valve’s 2FA system.
- Monitor emails for suspicious activity.
- Beware of phishing disguised as promotions or support messages.
- Join the "Sentinels of the Store" Steam group for updates.

### Additional Context

- "Mipped" Reputation: Described as a shady forum, "Mipped" and its sister sites have been flagged by @SteamSentinels for years for unethical practices, yet Steam allegedly took no action, possibly exacerbating this incident.

---

### Conclusion

The source of the alleged breach remains unclear—Valve denies Twilio’s involvement, yet the sale of data persists. Steam users should take proactive steps: update passwords, enable Steam Guard, and stay vigilant. This incident highlights the need for cybersecurity awareness in gaming.
