Steam servers brought down by SkidNP hacking group

Remember our previous report that wannabe group of hacker called SkidNP had vowed that they would bring down the Steam servers through the Christmas day. Well, the new kids on the hacking block seemed to have fulfilled their promise. Exactly half hour ago, gamers using Steam have started reporting that the Steam servers are facing a worldwide outage.

lol, SteamDB twitted like it's useless to remove your PayPal/credit card info now as that would make things even worser, Gabe really took some time to pull the cables off and shut down the server.

Official statement from a Steam Community Moderator KillahInstinct:

Account information incorrect
We've gotten reports that people sometimes see other people's account information on the account page. Valve has been made aware of this and are working on a fix.

Some frequently asked questions:
- No, Steam is not hacked

- Creditcard info and phone numbers are, as required by law, censored and not visible to users
