Steam Group Attacked
« on: July 19, 2013, 06:28:12 PM »
Hey everyone,

Last night, a Steam account with administrator access to the GTAStunting Steam group suffered an attack, and as a result, a number of members were "kicked-out" of the group. If you had previously joined the group and find that you are no longer in it, you can simply rejoin either by searching for it via the Steam client or by clicking here. We have also contacted Steam Support to see if we can have the changes reversed. We're sorry for the inconvenience and have taken steps to ensure the group is secure.

Cheers,

AJ

It's my fault. I was working on a PHP script that would automatically post to the Steam group when there was news updates. While doing some testing, I had to disable Steam Guard and use a temporary password.  Unfortunately I forgot to re-enable SG and change my password. As for who it was, I don't know. Every now and then I get emails where someone had attempted to reset my password so it could be the same person. Most of my accounts have been locked down to where I have to verify with a text pass-code but this temporary lapse in security bit me in the ass.

What I don't get is what drives these people do to such moronic things, lately every opportunity to exploit something has been used just to inconvenience & fuck with others on the forums with astonishing dedication, it's goddamn repulsive, we're here to have fun based on our shared interests yet some envious dim-witted assholes have to continuously fuck that up for their own false sense of self-accomplishment.

Anyways, don't blame yourself for it, things like that shouldn't happen even if the security is off, that's just a terrible showcase of ones character to waste their time doing such stupid & pointless stuff.
