Steam, the online market for PC games, experienced a major glitch on Friday.

Steam users who loggedin weregetting access to other users" accounts. We"ve also seen reports on social media that some people wereable to make purchases with other users" credit cards.

In fact, simply visiting the Steam store website gave anyone access to another user"s account.Valve, the company that runs Steam, shut down the store within an hour after the glitch hit. The store was operational again about an two hourslater.

It"s unclear what the cause was, andValve"s statement to The Verge didn"t shed much light on what happened. Valve has only said the glitch was caused by an "internal error".

Meanwhile, the glitch put 125 million of Steam"s active users at risk. Think of Steam as the App Store for PC games. Users store their credit card information and purchase games for download to their PC. A lot of that information was exposed in thisglitch and Valve hasn"t said anything to assure its customers that everything is OK.
