    No accounts were compromised and no accounts are threatened. The codes inside the SMS were valid for 15 minutes and are now just a meaningless assortment of random numbers.

      Thanks, was about to change my password

      Later Edit Update: Following an investigation, Steam officially denied any system breach in a recent statement responding to concerns.

      The company clarified that the one-time codes, which have been leaked, are only usable for 15 minutes, and the messages in question were old. This means Steam accounts are not affected by the incident, and any kind of personal data is safe.

      “You do not need to change your passwords or phone numbers as a result of this event. It is a good reminder to treat any account security messages that you have not explicitly requested as suspicious.”, recommended Steam.
