NEW TRADE PROTECTION

16 July - FD | 22 | 1 Comments

Hello, few hours ago an update came to the CS2 that affects trading features.

"Trade protected items" - these items are possible to reverse from trade 7 days after the deal is done. To be able to do this, the items need to be trade protected.
As I understand this, trade protection shouldn´t be possible when you are trading with different game items (possibly gems too) which would make them irreversible.

However that´s only my understanding and it can be wrong, please be sure that before doing any cash trades learn about this to prevent yourself from getting scammed, as the seller could potentionally revert those items.

MASSIVE DATA BREACH ON STEAM PLATFORM

14 May - FD | 22 | 0 Comments

As of today (14.5.2025) - There have been multiple reports of massive data breach of the Steam platform (Around 89 milion accounts). The data includes login credentials, phone numbers and probably more. (There is even a possibility of payment information being leaked)

It is also being reported that big source of this data breach is from accounts not having two-factor authentication set-up on their accounts.

For precaution I recommend:

- Setting up two-factor authentication if you haven´t done so already

- Changing your password

- Look into your mailbox, if you´ve received any security notifications from Steam and if so, act more on the matter.

- For the possibility of payment information getting leaked, monitoring your outcoming payments can be useful.

You can find your security settings including authorized devices in your profile settings. (Link into the settings below)

I lost two 100€ knives (Sharked) and the best Neck Deep music kit (Fake gambling site).
I got sharked out of a Poseidon (Minimal Wear), and a friend scammed me out of an M4 Masterpiece I was lending to him. But now, it's been almost two years since I lost any items :)

Maybe I could have owned a Dragon Lore by now, considering all the stuff I’ve lost.

Pro tip: Enable Family Sharing on your account to add an extra layer of security with a second password.
