so they know your paypal address, and maybe your forum/steam account pass, if that's the same pass as your paypal or as any other account you should change it
If Steam stores sensitive information hashed and salted, what is the cause for concern? That the hackers might be able to associate Steam usernames with e-mail addresses?
But, credit card numbers only have to be entered once. Then they are saved in to the database, and automatically reused when need be... obviously without you having to enter your credit card number each time you buy something.
What this means is that the credit card number must use two way encryption. It saves when you enter it the first time, encrypts it - almost certainly heavily, with multiple lengthy random, specific keys, and powerful two-way encryption methods. But, it is still two-way encryption. It is not technically impossible to decrypt, unlike one-way encryption.
This means that, with enough time, computer power, and knowledge of decryption and encryption, a group of hackers could possibly fully decrypt a lot of the info, including the credit card numbers.
Though, internet still needs hackers lol.
I'm not really worried about any poop like that. If my card / ssn get used for anything suspicious the credit will be erased and I will be credited any lost money back to my card.Not necessarily I don't think, just for piracy. Good hackers are alright but bad ones are a pain.
Especially if some hacker uses your card and locks your account.
I'm not surprised tbh. The internet wasn't ready for the next generation of black hackers.
I love seeing this stuff, as it makes my job more valuable to companies.
