PSA: Something has gone horribly wrong with Steam (servers now back up)
Well, despite threats from multiple hacking groups, it is not Xbox Live or PlayStation Network this Christmas, instead its the PC users that are suffering.
Steam is currently on complete black out, with chaos flying all over the place. As Kotaku report, peoples purchase historys getting mixed up and front pages in Russian for non-Russian speakers. Word on the street is that this is actually a catastrophic cache error, rather than a mass hacking though. Ive heard this explanation from a few, so thats what we are going with right now.
For now, its actually advised, instead of tearing your account details out of the service, to just leave your account alone if possible
Ill update as more comes to light.
Updated: Steam Community Manager KillahInstinct has taken to the Steam Communitysaying that this is not a hack and that if people do end up accidentally seeing your purchase history:
Creditcard info and phone numbers are, as required by law, censored and not visible to users
