Esteemed Warlord, it has come to our attention that some individuals have been stealing Steam login information via the following means: leveling services, hack advertisements, or via users' browsers or trojans, hacks, scripts, etc. Such behavior is difficult to prevent and leads to account safety issues.
We would therefore like to remind everyone by increasing account protection awareness:

1. Do not share your account with anyone else in any way or form, and do not trust hack or leveling services advertisements.
   
2. Some software may record your account and password, and not all computers on net bars are 100% safe. Therefore, we advise all Steam users to link their Steam account to a mobile device and activate mobile authentication. You can do so by following these steps:

------------------------Anti-Information Theft----------------------

1. We advise all Steam players to link their Steam account to a mobile device and activate mobile authentication. This will prevent others from stealing your account information, especially for users that frequent net bars where others may install software to record your account details and to avoid trojans from stealing your account information.

2. Using Third-party Software (Add-ons):

The main way in which accounts are stolen is when users install third-party add-ons from unknown sources. Most of these add-ons include automatic login, which requires you to enter your account and password. In doing so you will invertedly be giving your account information away to this add-on's creators.

Many of those that create illegal add-ons do so with ulterior motives. They will in their programs often implement trojans and/or viruses, that install programs on their users' computers that record account and password information. Some among these will even wait for you to level up before they take over your account and rid it of all wealth. Do not use any third-party software (add-ons) from untrusted or unknown sources.

3. Leveling/Farming Services:

Leveling services require you to share your account with others, requiring you to share important information. Those providing you with such services may at their leisure use this information to steal your account without much trace. Be sure to protect all information you provide during account registration and do not divulge it to anyone else.

Do not trust any leveling service claims, as doing so will compromise your account's security. Those providing leveling services will use illegal tools and software to provide their services. As these are illegal, your account may be banned, suspended, or penalized depending on the severity.

4. Logging in to unknown websites: Do not login to any other website using your game account and password!

Do not log in to unknown websites, or websites pertaining to scrips or hacks, and do not use any hacks. Such software often has a backdoor embedded so that they may acquire your account and password.
Websites pertaining to Silver Coin trading may contain trojans aimed at stealing your account information.

5. Account Sharing:

Do not share your game account with anyone else as doing so will compromise the security of your account. You cannot ensure that others will fully protect your information, or that they will not steal your account at some point. ② If you notice that someone else has logged on to your account, be sure to change your password at once. We recommend you use a complex password, and preferably one including special characters. Naturally, it is important that you can remember your password. You also shouldn't divulge any information you provided during the creation of your account. ③ Not only are you at risk when sharing your own account but also when accessing the accounts of others. When you log into another person's account, they can easily find out the IP address you logged in from, which they can then use to steal your account information.
