Steam Cache

[Baler]

So I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but steam today based on the say of people on the internet has been having trouble with their cache.

Apparently this problem has been resolved according to some sources. No official word from valve or steam though so I recommend just being careful.

People were logging into the steam website to discover that they were viewing someone else's profile who was not their own. Private information may have been divulged and yada yada yada.

I will open with this...

List of Reddit stuff:
This is where I first saw mention of it & is the source I mention that claims its been resolved. Despite valve nor steam acknowledging it.

Save you a click:
"Valve is having caching issues, allowing users to view things such as account information of other users."

TL : DR: Steam website may be having issues best to avoid atm. Could just be hearsay and or may be fixed already.

Why do I feel like I am the victim of a terrible trolling ordeal. I feel dirty I am going to go take a shower.

Valve has issued a statement regarding today's issues.

"Steam is back up and running without any known issues," a Valve spokesperson told GameSpot. "As a result of a configuration change earlier today, a caching issue allowed some users to randomly see pages generated for other users for a period of less than an hour. This issue has since been resolved. We believe no unauthorized actions were allowed on accounts beyond the viewing of cached page information and no additional action is required by users."

The only reason I made this thread is because most of us are gamers beyond EQ. Steam is a very popular platform in which I presume most of you use to some degree. Being that the winter sales are happening now I just wanted to give people a heads up. :)
