    If you believe someone has gained unauthorized access to your account, take immediate action. Follow these steps to prevent further access to your account by unauthorized users and to ensure that your account stays secure in the future:

    1. Determine the cause of the security breach
    2. Submit an incident report to Steam Support
    3. Take action to keep your login information secure

    Finally, please post in this thread if your account (or the account of someone you know) has been stolen/hijacked so that we may warn others of the possible danger.
