89 Million Steam Accounts Exposed in Data Breach

Whoa! Steam just got hit with a massive data leak — 89 million accounts allegedly exposed. Yeah, you read that right. If you’ve ever logged in for that sweet game grind, your info might be floating around the dark web.

This isn’t some random hacker flex. The breach supposedly comes from Twilio, the company that helps Steam send those two-factor authentication texts. So, your phone number, email, and even purchase history? Up for grabs. According to reports from AS.com, a hacker named “Machine1337” is selling the data for just five grand. That’s like the price of a new console, but way more shady.

Good news? Your passwords and credit card numbers didn’t leak — for now. But with emails and phone numbers out there, expect a flood of phishing attempts and scammy calls. The risk isn’t just about games, it’s your whole online life on the line.

If you’re a Steam user, here’s the play: change your password right now. Ditch SMS for an authenticator app, and keep an eagle eye on your account activity. Stay skeptical of any weird emails or texts — if it smells fishy, it probably is.

Valve hasn’t dropped an official statement yet, but cybersecurity experts are waving red flags all over this one. So, gear up and protect your digital loot. Because in the gaming world, losing your account isn’t a game over anyone wants.
