Steam Forums Gets Hacked

Anybody with a Steam Forums account should go and change their password immediately. Earlier today the forums were hacked. While it doesn't appear any personal information besides email addresses were acquired, it would be a good idea none the less, since most users probably use the same pass as their real Steam account.

This is why Valve uses separate accounts for their forums and for Steam

fkn0wned.com is the site that was put up promoting hacking and cheats within the forums. The website denies that it had any part in the hacking.
Some users are claiming to have received emails from fkn0wned.com promoting their site (though I've not received any, so who is to know if the claims are true.)

On the forums, this message was posted:
Ever wanted to dominate the serveres you play on with guarenteed results, but you were too afraid to cheat because of ban risks? Visit Fkn0wned.com. It's safe, secure and undetected. Along with hacks, we've also got some general discussion sections, hacking tutorials and tools, porn, free giveaways and much more. This site has been conditioned to meet all your needs in terms of resources so be sure to take a look and tell us what you think. Thanks again, the fkn0wned team

I sort of believe that this site is not really responsible. I doubt these hackers and cheaters want to be thrust out into the open like this, into the glare of Valve. Valve knows how to shut down cheaters with its VAC system, and this is likely to make the hackers work harder.

The forums were down when I attempted to go to them at around 11:30am EST, and remain down at the time of this writing. No details or comments have come from Valve yet. The Steam application is unaffected and games can still be played unhindered through it.
