How to Know If Your Account Has Been Hacked and How to Get Rid of Intruders?

Most often, when scammers gain access to a user's Steam account, the user doesn't even suspect it. Intruders try not to reveal their presence: they don't change the password, don't send random trades, and don't perform other actions that might alert you. After all, if you notice something suspicious, you will immediately restore access to your account through Steam support.

Scammers usually reveal themselves only when it's truly advantageous. For example, if you plan to transfer a valuable item through a trade, they can cancel your trade and replace it with their own from another account to seize your valuable item. Scammers have learned to substitute trades within seconds.

If an intruder has gained access to your Steam account, you can quickly regain control:

  1. Change the password of your Steam account.

  2. In the "Authorized Devices" section, scroll to the bottom and click the "Log Out Everywhere" button.

  3. In the "Manage Steam Guard" section, click "Log Out on All Other Devices".

  4. In the "Steam API" section, revoke your API key.

  5. Wait 24 hours and do nothing; wait for your Access Token to change to a new one.

  6. Ask Market.CSGO support deleting your authorization sessions and removing your Market.CSGO API key, even if you don't know what it is or don't use it.

Done! These steps will help you regain full control over your account and block access for intruders.
