May 14, 2025 at 2:55pm PDT Valve has issued a statement to PCGamesN acknowledging the data breach but claims that it shouldn't impact the safety of your Steam account. You can read the full statement further down this article.

Change your password if you can, anyway, it's always added safety.

Don't bother changing your password if you have steam guard. No passwords were leaked.

NIST explicitly says accounts with MFA don't have to be reset.

the codes that were 'leaked' are supposed SMS based 2fa but those expire after 15 min. So in the time you read this the code has expired.
