  1. Credit card information? by Reason58 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's interesting that they mention credit card information, as you have to enter your complete billing address and credit card information every single time you make a purchase through Steam. Is this hacker lying, or is Steam collecting and storing credit card information on users for shady reasons?
