The whole information was accessible nothing blured, i have screenshots of the whole information of some accounts. cause i kept reloaded the steam profile menu; i was wondering if someone hacked my account.
names, address, phone number, email, you name it everything was in clear which is funny cause they're say its not the case, if i wanted i could load the information on web image hosting. so i'm pretty sure my information someone or more had access to it.
and they're not even compensating either.

AnonD-447414, 31 Dec 2015Can't believe big companies can't defend them selves from a simple DoS attack.well, This doesnt seem to be just a simple ddos attack, since there would have been success of ddos attack already, these ddosers are not the only tryharders to do so, valve surely has anti ddos system, but seems these ddosers found a workaraund/exploit and used it against valve. Without hackers, security cant be improved.

sorry, but if i were valve, i would have done that too, to keep people calm and not panic. If valve would have come up like "we were hacked and people's privacy are now public but we will resolve in few hours" doesnt help at all.
