I recently received a news from steam that they had a database/forum intrusion. All usernames/passwords/credit cards numbers/card pass may have been leaked.
So change your steam account password and check the activity of your debit/credit card.
Edit-
"We learned that intruders obtained access to a Steam database in addition to the forums, This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked."
Newell states that Valve does not have any evidence that credit cards have misused at this time; however, he recommends that users "watch [their] credit card activity and statements closely."
"While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised, all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other accounts you should change those passwords as well,"
We are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn't be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password. I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Edit2- Forgot to take the pic of steam's news popup. So obtained this from google.
