My Steam account got yeeked a couple of days ago

[Kött]

Everything began with this little post:

WASPKOMMANDOR: Hi , join my group  (obvious phishing link) join

I didn't pay attention to any browser security signs and try to log in on firefox and the phishing site that link lead to looked pretty convincing.
Yes, I actually fell for it. Still cursing myself for actually having been so dumb. Well, apparently I am not the only one.
Getting a quick message from W-P-S, hell of a trustable fella, of course. Click it, join that group. Five secons later I realized what had happened since my Steam had dropped connection. Firstly denied the truth though, tried to restart my pc and got my worst worries confirmed.
Mainly being mad at myself for having been bashed by someone who actually seems like a pretty cool guy but keeps swearing on every game of tf2 and was once banned from these forums, I sent a message to the German steam support team, including my cd serial, a scan of it and other information.

I got my account back in the evening of the same day, pretty fast actually. The response, tho, included a copypasta about how to keep your passwors secret and advices not to use passwords like qwertz or 12345 and didn't really seem to deal with the information I had sent. I was of course very enthusiastic about this helpful answer.
Yet, an entire day without any tf2 for an addict like me was hell...

Anyway, now I had to think of a new password for my facebook, ng and lastfm account, which is pretty gay actually... After my account had been hacked, the same message as mentioned above was sent to everyone on my friends list before its name was changed to prevent me from finding it. Also my friends and my groups were deleted. Luckily I almost only had tba people on my list back and luckily my reputation here is way too bad/too many of you think -kott's gay anyway- to be motivated to join a group, created by me.
And the rest of you should've been clever enough not to fall for it.
Anyway, I hope none of you did.

My game stats remained and none of my precious hats or weapons had been deleted. This was the only time I was glad Valve hadn't publish the trading system yet, heh. Not sure if anyone would actually take the time to loot the accounts anyway.

Still, it was a pretty painful experience and I hope this will never happen to any of you guys, but falling for it is not as unlikely as you may think. -Never trust anyone but yourself
...I mean, be careful.

The last thing that remained to do and the only reason why I actually have the balls to post how dumb I have been happened today.
I checked w-p-s' boards and his ng account, suspecting that he actually may have fallen for the same trick and wasn't the dick who caused this entire misery, trying to bash some random people on his steam list by sending them a commonly known link to a phishing site. -Shouldn't he actually be too busy to pull of shit like this, even if he is quite a troll sometimes?
Well, believe it or not. He actually fell for the same trick. Feels kinda bad to even have thought that he did it in the end...

W-P-S, hell of a trustable fella, of course.

hahahahahahahahaha

well he's an idiot for getting phished so easily and so are you

congratulations and cool story bro's all around

[Kött]

heh, oh well... sometimes you just act quicker than you think.
I forgot to mention: The site has been taken down already, so there was no need to remove that link actually. Yet, thanks! Without that link being displayed, I probably am not humiliating myself as much.

[Taokaka]

I remember when I got the phishing link from you and I laughed a hearty chuckle.

There always is one first time in your life when you havent gotten enough sleep because you've drunken too much booze the last evening, you have jacked off all night, you just returned from a 12 hours doubleshift of work or you have done all of that at once.
Yes, I am trying to find a bad and not even true excuse and I still am ashamed for actually having fallen for it after 3 years of advanced informatics class at school, many years of internet experience and for usually not being a complete dumbfuck but yes, this one fucking time I have fallen for it for whatever reasons and apparently it is not that unlikely if you have a bad day, a bad hour or even a bad minute when your brain takes its time off when you least need it but as well least expect that it would affect you or your status in any way. Car accidents, injuries at undangerously seeming leisure time activities or someone you would never think it could ever happen to a smart fucker like you.

I'm gonne get some sleep, bye
