I hate articles like this. Given I am 99% certain Steam will not be storing my password in a compromisable way, what is the point of changing it?
'Meanwhile, SteamDB has flagged a LinkedIn post from Dr. Christopher Kunz, a security writer at German tech site Heise, who wrote in an article on the alleged breach: "The dataset contains phone numbers and (expired) one-time codes, but no references to access data such as usernames, Steam IDs, or even password hashes. Whether Steam customers should now change their passwords as a precaution or install the 'Steam Guard' security app seems at least questionable."'
