Hacking

Sorry for being away these past few weeks, but on Sunday the 17th I was the victim of a hack on my Steam account, which was almost stolen. Luckily I contacted Steam support in time. (Although it was one of the worst experiences having to wait for a response from technical support and especially those who have had their account for more than 10 years and everything they have bought will understand.) Analyzing the situation I realized that the way they were able to get in was through an Apple device since they were able to use the authenticator. This device was not updated and at the time of the hack it had version 17 when they had already updated the software to version 18. Still, I am surprised to know how easily they bypassed Apple's security to be able to do this.

During this holiday season I recommend that you update all your devices and old passwords since you will start to see more of this activity.

Of course I got a bit paranoid and for that reason I didn't let you know right away and that's the best thing you can do in this type of situation. First I changed the operating system and verification devices, as well as changing all my accounts and access, I updated to a better antivirus, anyway, it was a very tiring few weeks making all these changes.

But I'm back now and ready to continue, sorry if I didn't answer anyone in this time, but I was a bit busy as you can understand.
