If you frequently use Steam, now would be an excellent time to change your password. There has been news that 89 million account details have gone up for sale on the dark web, and if it turns out to be legitimate, it would mean a ton of user accounts are now at risk. Given how some accounts can contain hundreds (if not thousands) of games, this could mean people losing their entire selection of PC games.

The recent leak being reported did NOT breach Steam systems

Thanks!  I just found an update on C.net, which said the same thing.  Looks like this is more about the telecom hack and old sms messages.
