Steam Privacy Issue Fixed

[Feb 06, 2013, 4:13 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A privacy issue has been corrected on the Steam Community Website that could expose details about users' games and activity, even when their profiles were set to private or friends-only. Ars Technica says they brought the problem to Valve's attention, and while it was never publically acknowledged, it is not longer possible to exploit it.

This has been the case for along time. Since I only have family on steam, I didn't really care.




Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.
