BBC News reports that Steam has been hacked.

 

"  The Steam video game service, used by 35 million people, has been compromised by hackers.

Its owner and operator, Valve, uncovered an intrusion into a user database while investigating a security breach of its discussion forums.

The attackers used login details from the forum hack to access a database that held ID and credit card data.

Valve said that, so far, it had no evidence that credit cards were being misused or Steam accounts abused."

On line gaming is huge and are set up with users credit information during registration.  An electronic vault just waiting...  Look at Sony.  These companies need to recognize this now and do more to prevent.

Its really too bad that this has to happen, I read the story and hope they find who did this, although one wonders if the credit thing is valid or not.
