      This is a quick note to any PC gamers that are currently unaware.
      Steam has encountered some major caching issues, meaning that users that have recently logged in, your account's recent history and other private info may be visible to other users.
      I am just following the updates on Twitter, your best bet is 1 of 2 things.
      If you've recently accessed Steam (today), cancel all pre-approved payments (Paypal) and contact your bank if there's any unfamiliar Steam purchases made using your account today.
      Your other option, if you've not yet used Steam today, do NOT access it, don't login, don't load the homepage, just avoid it.
      You can follow most of this progress via @SteamDB on Twitter, otherwise, just lay low.
      Enjoy the holidays regardless.

      Did you remove it from the Steam website or did you unlink it on PayPal's website? They had said that unlinking from Steam will put you at even more risk.
