Now's a good time to check in on your Steam account security

Steam has allegedly suffered a data breach in the past week, so now's a good time to do a security check-up.

Details are scant and difficult to confirm, but a known hacker has claimed to be selling a database of more than 89 million user records for the gaming platform with one-time access codes obtained from a third-party vendor used by Steam. The original LinkedIn post identifying a breach suggested that the leaked information came from cloud communication company Twilio. It's also a good practice to make sure you're regularly changing your pass codes, especially when it's possible that some component of Steam Guard was at the root of this week's security drama.
