Wes Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm not going to change my password. I have nothing to lose. Was it Anonymous, Lulzsec or neither? I heard it was atheists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Atheists? Are you sure? That really doesn't make sense. Steam has nothing to do with religion, so an atheist group hacking it would be a waste of their time. Plus, most atheists I know don't do that shit anyway. In fact, from my experience, atheists tend to have a stronger moral compass than most Christians. EDIT: After a little research, I turned up the SPUF was defaced to carry a message from the fkn0wned group. fkn0wend is apparently a game hacking group, so the hack was likely a retaliation against a VAC ban or something. That said, fkn0wned is denying involvement. Maybe it was a disgruntled former member who wanted to bring a shit-ton of trouble to them by framing them. Or that's just a lie. Who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would deny involvement too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
