Well yesterday I get an email from my bank notifying me of suspicious activity. I log into my bank account and I see 8 separate $100 charges totaling $800. WTF? Are you serious. I called my bank had the card canceled immediately.
I submitted a support case with Steam. Then today I get a response from Steam saying that their fraud detection system has caught this, and that I should be getting a credits back into my account.
So I login to my bank and now I see 6 of the $100 charges were credited back. I'm hoping by Monday I see the other $200 credited back. I also have an emergency fraud credit being processed by my bank.
This is just nuts, I have never had this happen before. I will never store any credit card info on Steam, or any other online website, I'll be using gift cards from now on. These Chinese/Russian hackers are out of control and we need to improve our security systems here. Every week we hear of compromised systems.
