@Linux the article makes no mention of usernames or passwords being leaked. and while a leak of phone numbers is obviously a problem, historical sms 2fa codes are, well, historical and aren't an active risk to account security

steam's authentication process never even sends a plaintext password to the backend if i remember right, so they definitely know how to do account security and not to store plaintext passwords

no need for unnecessary fear mongering
@lea @Linux disclaimer: I am not a cybersec expert, I just read a lot (sometimes too much)

it might be kinda tinfoil-y but is it also possible they have much more damning data and this is just the first batch?
@gothdactyl @Linux yeah, they absolutely could but as long as there's no evidence of that i don't think it's fair to claim that "89 million usernames and passwords have leaked"

@lea @Linux
"they definitely know how to do account security"

No FIDO U2F or Passkey support for 2FA says otherwise.
