I'm aware of the reports of a Steam data breach apparently involving Twilio. I've asked Valve press to confirm if it's valid and offer any comment on it. Not just going to repost unconfirmed breaches.

This is a good reminder regardless to ensure you have Steam Guard set up.

Twilio just confirmed to me they were not involved in the breach as has been said elsewhere. Now just waiting on a reply from Valve.

Seeing some incredibly alarmist clickbait from other news sites coming out on this. Reminder: literally nothing has been confirmed or actually verified right now.

The alleged "Steam data breach" appears to be SMS delivery logs from some provider, if it is true at all. Twilio says there is no indication that this data was obtained from Twilio. You don't have to change your password, such a provider would not have your account information.
