Valve hacked???
Like that has never happened before!!!
Would they be so careless to allow this or, for example, let the entire
Steam network go down due to a snow storm/power outage in western Washington
State?

It's funny that when I did a search on that law, it took me to the Cali DMV
for it????? LOL. Also there's a little loop hole in it for them.

"The disclosure shall be made in the most expedient time possible and
without unreasonable delay, consistent with the legitimate needs of law
enforcement, as provided in subdivision (c), or any measures necessary to
determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of
the data system."

Just look up the TJX Security Breach.
"The $16 billion retail chain has officially said that a huge amount of
information was accessed as early as 2005 (with some of the captured data
dating back to 2003), but that TJX officials didn't learn of the breach
until December 2006. The company didn't announce the breach until
mid-January 2007 due to-according to one credit-card source-a request from
the Secret Service because it was actively pursuing a suspect."

So we may not find out the truth for a while.

" or with customers in California"

I'm sure they have at least one customer in CA.

Since when has Valve been in California? Last time I checked they were still
in Bellevue, Washington. Not that another similar law doesn't apply to them
in Washington, or due to the fact that steam sales can probably be construed
as taking place in the state where the consumer lives... but the California
legislation probably has no jurisdiction on them.

Uhm, while Valve may not like stating they were hacked in to... They would
be required to by law.

"The California Security Breach Information Act (California Civil Code
Section 1798.82), in effect on July 1, 2003, requires companies based in
California or with customers in California to notify them whenever their
personal information may have been compromised."

So, no, I don't think that Valve/Steam has been hacked in to. And, if they
have, either they don't know about it, or they are working with the proper
authorities to investigate and catch whoever did anything.

Also, due to the fact that Valve is a corporation, I'm sure a lot of their
financial information is public record...

Why are you so sure we'd have heard about it by now?  I don't think Valve is
going to come out immediately and say that they were hacked into, especially
if customer's credit card numbers are involved.  Do you have any idea how
devastating that would be to any company?  Let Valve attempt to handle this
privately as I'm sure they are, or at least HOPE they are.
