Fucking with a Steam hacker

[defalt]

How convenient this happened to me the day I was about to trade up my knife.

My Steam account got hacked and all my expensive items were sold on the Steam market, including my knife, and the hackers bought a $0.25 skin for $127 and left $11 in my Steam wallet. I've sent a ticket to Steam Support, but their response times are infamously long, so it will probably be about a week before everything is back to normal. While I'm waiting, is there a way to see where and when my Steam account was recently access and see the IP so I can fuck with these guys? I mean, I probably picked up a bit of malware while my Steam was open (thanks bitdefender), doesn't necessarily mean these guys are good enough to be considered hackers but they probably hide behind a VPN. Still would like to see, out of sheer curiosity. From most of what I'm finding online, you can't find the IPs of recent logins or login attempts, but maybe somebody here knows some 1337 watch_dogs way of finding these things out?

Your best chance at this is to go after a known identity they have online and try to social engineer them, not try to get their IP.

Watch_Dogs is not like real life.  Defalt was so bad I could not stop cringing.

I see you have cookies so I assume you aren't a skid.  Take warning, because hackers around here don't take kindly to questions about "tracking IPs" to "fuck people up."

Well, "tracking his IP to fuck him up" was a little bit more on the a satire side because overall, I want to figure out a way to see when my Steam account was accessed and from what IP. I believe it will tell you this if you get a Steam Guard notification, but unfortunately, I did not get one when my account was breached.

I'll decide what to do if I can see the IP address that my account was accessed from, whether or not it turns out to be useful at all, but that's the question I ended my thread with. That's all I want to know right now. Maybe I should've adjusted the title a bit more appropriately.

Truthfully, it is possible there is no ip to find; now I haven't gotten deep with steam in many years, since it first came out. But if they haven't fixed some of their issues, it is possible, for someone to high-jack your connection, and use it, as it's tunneled through you. Perhaps, it might be a good idea, to first think about using wireshark, to sniff out what is going on, while you are on steam...

Although just the same, the idea of trying to social engineer the person; that would imply you already have an idea of whom it was. So, sorry sh4d0w; kind of a moot point. And though Watch Dogs may not be real; it's not too far fetched either; shit, you can turn a person's monitor into a keylogger with virtually any mobile device... Hackers have the ability to take down governments, and the governments know it; it may not be what Watch Dogs is, but Watch Dogs is a great fictional representation, of what hackers can do...

I won't help you with that, but the way you got "hacked" was likely a malware infection. Are you on a Windows computer? Do you need help to check for malware?

Yeah, it was malware. Thank you for asking, I may need to check for any remaining malware. I am on Windows 7, like any proper Steam user. Since last night, though, it's been brought to my attention that if your account was breached via "Steam stealer" malware, Steam support may be unwilling to help you as it's "your responsibility to keep your account secure, and you failed."

In other words, Steam's dystopian policies now benefit the criminals and hurt the genuine users. What a time to be alive. I may not have my skins, but I have my skill. SMFC represent.

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

• Right click to run as administrator. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  
• Press Scan button.
  
• It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
  
• The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe).
  
• Please provide both logs (FRST.txt and Addition.txt) in your next reply.

This seems sketch as fuck. Oh, well; I'm currently out right now (on mobile). I'll be sure to do that when I get back.

Honestly... I agree, that does seem sketch as fuck... However, here is something else you could try... https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner  CCleaner I have been using for over a decade (when it comes to cleaning out Microshit systems). If you've ever used HiJackThis; well this is much better, but does give you an ability to check deeper then usual like HiJackThis used to do... Also for A/V use Avast or Panda; these two have always been at the top. Actually Panda and Avast were the first to actually implement sandboxing...

[0E 800]

You guys should look up the software before you start telling us about your spidey senses tingling.
IMO Deque should charge you as a client instead of trying to be helpful. Too bad, you had an opportunity to learn something from a professional and instead your shooing away the help.

Dont be skerd.

Considering you said that, after I posted, it does seem as though you're also talking to me... Did you not realize my reference to HiJackThis? The original to Farbar recovery scan tool... I put that reference in there, for a reason. CCleaner, has a section, that does what Farbar recovery scan tool does. If memory serves me right, farbar used to speak very highly of HiJackThis; hence why farbar scan tool even exists...

It is hard to stand that high amount of bullshit here.
CCleaner does not remove malware. That is like claiming your broom gets rid of a cockroach infestation.
HijackThis is outdated, no one uses it anymore, except for people that have been in coma for 10 years. HJT does not support any OS after Windows XP. So it should also not be used by the OP, who has Windows 7. *sigh*
Don't use your obviously bad memory, do actual research. You will see that every reputable malware removal forum uses FRST nowadays. You will see that the logs HJT throws out are only a small subset of what FRST can tell.
Now go into the corner and shame on you.

I said that jokingly. It's fine. Didn't realize how long it'd be before I'd be able to do this, though. It's fuckin' 2:31 AM now, wow. Alright, I'm going to do the thing.

Deque, where in there did I ever say malware? I said I use it when cleaning out systems; that doesn't mean malware... CCleaner, does more then FRST; it scans the registry, and for the last 10 years, has stopped invalid firewall rules, that doesn't get cleaned out from any Malware system I have ever tried. On top of that, CCleaner, cleans out JUNK FILES, TEMP FILES, and so forth; it makes all the tedious bullshit like cookies, including sticky cookies, and tracker cookies, as easy as pie. Plus, you can scan, or wipe any free space on your drive, to ensure there is no non-indexed programs being hidden, or to cover tracks on deleted files... And to top it all off, it allows you to alter any startup file; not just windows start ups, but also IE, Chrome, Firefox, Scheduled tasks and so forth.
Oh, plus it provides similar information as FRST; or at least it is far more in-depth then HJT.

Now, I haven't cared to be in any community in a long time; cause I got tired of idiot SKIDs like you. Farbar, learned some shit from me, over 6 years ago... See I use programs, based on trial and error, and how it compares to other programs; I don't use a program cause "Reputable communities", say to use a program, that's skiddy bullshit bro... Seriously, do you think Linux would even exist, if Linus Torvald, used what all the "Reputable Communities" used? Fuck no, he didn't spread Skiddy bullshit...
And you're right the bullshit here, is at a high amount; stop spreading bullshit... You're inability to understand the difference between cleaning out a system, and MALWARE; pretty pathetic when I am the one with Memory Issues... You're inability to distinguish between; referencing the similarity, the best part of an old program, or me questioning if it had ever been used; and me telling someone to use that program.... Are you fuckin Delusional??? Stop fantasying, and stop seeing only what you want to see; that inability to tell the difference between what is REAL, and what is IN YOUR HEAD; makes you Delusional... I have brain damage; so yes, I have memory issues, and yes I get things confused; but what the fuck is your excuse? Cause I have an actual reason, with 2 MRIs to back it up...
And one last thing... Malware, is not the only thing that can be cleaned out; skid... And if anyone needs to be in the "shame corner" it would be the person using programs cause "reputable communities" say to use it, instead of using a program cause it has survived the test of time, and passed with flying colors... And again, the person who made FRST, learned shit from me...


@default - I too said jokingly, but Deque obviously has an ego problem; and shit I always worry about my own egotism, why do skids think they know it all?
