    And here’s an article saying otherwise.

    https://www.vg247.com/steam-vendor-data-breach-passwords-89-million-users-dark-web

    Again, the panic smells rotten because Steam should not have a plaintext copy of your password, it should be hashed, and there’s just no way steam isn’t doing that.

      That’s a promising update! Thank you for posting.

      Funny how even the URL of that article suggests that passwords were breached. LOL
