Disclaimer- I am not a Steam user, found this on another website but thought it should be posted-

"My friend informed me. When you go into 'Account Information' via Steam Client, it leads you to other peoples pages.

I looked at it and there is another guys page named 'minkey***' and it has saved credit card information, which is not mine. I can see his mail address clearly. Also if that random guy has money in Steam Wallet, I think you can spend it too. Mine has $0 at all.

I think big security issue is happening right now. You can check it with Steam Client. I am not gonna upload a screenshot because I dont want to spoil that guys e-mail address or other info."

Seems resolved by now. From what I read, it just served the wrong pages, no alterations or purchases were allowed.

Big flash in the pan, as said above, wrong pages were displayed but authentication to pay wouldn't work. All resolved and working now.

Heck, by the time i heard, it was over! First ever security problem I ever heard about with Steam, so that's a first.

But likely not the last.
