Our good friend Locutus from WePlayCiv noticed us about a recent event: The steam forums were hacked last saturday, and now it seems the hackers also gained access to Steam itself and were able to access user names, email addresses, hashed passwords, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. The current status is that neither the passwords nor the credit card information has been cracked yet.

Every steam user, which includes every Civilization 5 user and partially also Civ3 and Civ4 users, are adviced to change their passwords and to keep an eye on their bank accounts.
