"On 4/9/07, a user known as "MaddoxX" managed to hack into the Valve
servers, and successfully pilfered the following:
* Screenshots of internal Valve web pages
* A portion of Valve's Cafe directory
* Error logs
* Credit card information of customers
* Financial information on Valve
MaddoxX is currently posting the info he captured on an Anti-Steam website,
which can be found here:
The articles of this issue can be found here:
'It's not currently known how far-reaching the credit card breach is, but
STEAM users who have purchased products online for electronic delivery
would do well to keep an eye on their credit card statements for the next
while, especially if MaddoxX makes good on a promise to release a
"spreadsheet."'
Again, it's currently unknown how far this spreads, but it's a good idea
to watch your CC statements online for a while, until something is
confirmed either by your bank, or Valve themselves.
Valve has yet to release a statement regarding this, and is currently just
deleting requests on their forums about it."
got this in an email today, hadn't seen any posts about it here.

Thank You for the information. I havent played any of Valves games in a while but i bought them all online. Does it matter that the credit card I used to purchase those games is no longer active but the account it was tied to is still active?
