Avoid Steam Games Scam Sites
« on: March 05, 2009, 04:26:16 PM »
PC World notes that phishers are now targeting Steam account holders. Games are an easy target because you can make quick money off of them and the security isn't as high as with, say, credit cards. The site that first reported this, SpywareGuide, demonstrates two examples—steamgift.com and steamverification.com—that will attempt to trick you into giving them access to your digital library of games.
