My steam account = Hijacked?

AragoniAragoni Member UncommonPosts: 384

I have this small problem, not 110% sure that my account has been hijacked or if it's just some stupid problem with my e-mail. I were on Dreamhack (worlds biggest LAN-party) a week ago and everything was fine. My computer automatically logged me into Steam but a day after I got home (Sunday last week, I got home saturday night) it demanded that I would log in manually. I write my account name and password but I recieved a message which said "Login to steam failed....". I then thought I remembered the wrong Account name/password (must've been 4 months at least since I logged in manually) and used the 'retrieve a lost account'  and ' I don't know my account name' option. I wrote my e-mail and it said that it had sent the mail but when I looked in my e-mail I haven't recieved one single mail (tried this at least 10 times).



So, is it hijacked or is it a shitty problem with my e-mail (hotmail)?

    lots of web Email address(from my experience especially yahoo or anything routed through them) have overly paranoid filters that don't send spam to the spam/whatever folder.

    I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.
