I can confirm that he is: - Author on EventScripts - Admin on SteamRep.com - Reddit Admin "thorax"
- And I did have a "slowchat" with him on a private section of a forum. He confirmed to me and others there that the security he listed there was as how he runs it. Quote from him from that forum's private section: I have to go to bed, but you can see my security precautions here: http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2trade/comments/orbjk/iama_mattie_fellow_with_the_largest_unusual_tc/ My password policy was numbers, letters, spaces, upper-case letters, but only 9 characters on Steam. My passwords are different everywhere. He somehow disabled SteamGuard, probably remotely. If you recall, I helped datastorm review that hijack avoidance document. You pretty much don't get more paranoid than me. I run 3 types of malware detection and use Process Explorer multiple times a day to look for any unsigned processes running to identify exactly what they are. Whatever this hijacker's attack is, it's not something common and not something that we have good explicit tips for people to avoid. I'll continue brainstorming tomorrow *snip non relevant* As I may have mentioned, he told multiple people that he targetted me specifically because I tried to stop so many of the latest hijacks and because I gave people tips to stop hijackings (especially double hijackings). I'm sure money had something to do with it, too, but he told my wife he did it for the challenge. Well, he won. [/Quote] Shame that his collection with regaining the account will be duped, and therefore be worth a lot less. Also a pain that SteamGuard isn't the rigid security I'd hoped for >________________________________ > From: ics <[email protected]> >To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list ><[email protected]> >Sent: Sunday, 22 January 2012, 16:11 >Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Another high profile trader/admin hijacked. > >Thats a bit of interesting thing in any case anyway, as if that's really the >Mattie and he did have security in order listed on reddit and still was >hacked, then does Steam has security issues again (forums anyone)?
