Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[Adam Walker]

Personally, if you can't be bothered to check the links you click (given that 
Steam says "YOU'RE LEAVING STEAM" for all non-official links now) then Steam 
Support really should refuse to help you. You've failed to secure your account. 

On the flip side, Steam Support should educate users who are hacked in proper 
security manners. First time, they should assist you and try to recover as much 
as they can. Thereafter, if you can't see "what went wrong" then you're on your 
own.

I'm not saying that the link warning is a bad idea, I'm saying the security 
should be ample that a normal user can use it without it interfering with 
everyday use and be secure. It should not be designed for the very lowest 
denominator in such a way that it becomes a hand-holder: "Are you sure?", "Are 
you REALLY sure?", "Are you REALLY, REALLY sure?", "Are you ABSOLUTELY 
POSITIVELY REALLY, REALLY sure?", "Okay, well, we don't think you are, so we 
better be safe."

If everyone took steps to ensure their password was strong, they didn't repeat 
that password elsewhere and actually checked what they receive from people in 
terms of links then Steam would be a much safer place.

Tl;dr: Secure your password, secure your email (DON'T USE THE SAME PASSWORD), 
DON'T click links from random users or suspicious links from people you know, 
Use Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator to ensure people can't log onto your 
account in the first place, Use common sense, Educate your friends.

Don't hold my hand because others can't use common sense.

Thanks,
Adam
