My steam account was hijacked about 15 minutes ago.
I received a email saying some changes were made and contact email was changed, and now I cant log onto my account.
It couldnt have been a keylogger, because I just formatted my HDD yesterday...
The only explanation I have is, that I used the same password as for my email-adress, as for my steam-account here in this forum, and he found out this way.
I dont want to suspect you guys, I just ask you to look if there were any leaks in the past few days or something.

Thanks in advance =)

PS: I should get the account back w/o problems because Ive got all product keys, I know my address etc^^

Don't use the same password for everything...someday someone will figure it out. Gl getting your account back.

Ive already sent them everything they wanted, hope to get it soon back.
Yeah, I know Akl about that but I often use this password for things I dont care about like websites, forums, etc.
Dont know why I used it as my Steam-password back then^^

yea its ez to get it back but another reason for you to get hacked could be virus infected hardware such as usb sticks, dunno if you used them after formatting. id suggest you to scan all your hardware. also you could have a bootsector virus on your hdd (the bootsector doesnt get deleted if formatting).

FYI steam released some crazy shit so u can verify ur account and it cant be changed back
it will make the process of getting it back alot easier if u do it
