Yeah, needless to say, this is a little concerning... http://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/12/valve-still-hasnt-told-steam-users-about-the-christmas-fiasco/ Not too happy about it to be honest. |

If you logged in or out of Steam in between I think 7:15am to 8:00am on the 26th. There was a slight chance that someone might have seen your: email address, the games you bought, the last 4 digits of your phone number or the amount of credit in your steam wallet if they made an effort to go the options. There was an issue with the cache. Nobody was able to buy anything from someone else's account and no big database was stolen I dont think. You should be concerned if had something in your cart at the time of logging in and out and happened to have saved your billing address if you opted to pay via card. Also, stop reading Kotaku. But I agree that they should have really e-mail everyone about it to quell the concerns and offer precautions by now. Edited by Red Panda, Dec 31 2015, 09:51 AM.

Kotaku is fine in my opinion - the Australian side of it writes some really great stuff. The American side is not so great. The basic problem is that we are past the time where companies can leave four days between the event happening and notifying customers. If there is an issue - they need to notify customers right away and get onto it. It's bad PR to sit on it and not announce anything. Heck, even a 'look, there was an issue with the cache, we're looking in to it, more to come!' is enough. After Catch of the Day took a solid four years to tell their customers of a data breach, I'm a little bit cranky about any company that drags their feet in letting people know about breaches. It's not on. |

Well, the government is considering introducing a mandatory data breach notification law. They have a discussion paper is up here, with submissions open until March 6th: https://www.ag.gov.au/consultations/pages/serious-data-breach-notification.aspx If this proceeds, then Catch of the Day's behaviour would presumably be illegal. |

Good. Whilst I didn't use Catch of the Day all that often, I did use it at the time the breach was on and was furious that they allowed it to happen. That said, I am slightly hypocritical because whilst I stopped using Catch of the Day, I continue to use Steam and Playstation... sooo... |

Valve released a statement the other day: http://store.steampowered.com/news/19852/
Seems like people that specifically got in the window of the cache issues will be notified eventually. They should really email this to everyone, rather than just post it on their blog, which can be found in the Steam news section that is being drowned out by blog slots from (Admittedly amusing) Rock, Paper, Shotgun Christmas jokes.

Would have to say no because the gameplay is nothing but puzzles. |

This is pretty great news for future bundles. A new Valve initiative will allow consumers to take advantage of the savings that game bundles offer without possibly necessitating the purchase of duplicate licenses. This program introduces flexible pricing -- a system that changes the cost of a bundle based on how many of the bundle's games you already own. http://www.destructoid.com/new-valve-program-drops-steam-bundle-prices-to-account-for-already-owned-games-346064.phtml |
