People trying to log into my steam account every day

Thanks to Steam guard, I get an email with a code when I try to log into my Steam account from a new device.

But this week I have received constants emails from people trying to log in my account (mostly from Russia)

I went to Steam and changed immediately the account's password, but 10 minutes after changing it, I got another email, from another computer in Russia trying to log in.

What is going on? Is my account in danger? Can I do something to stop this?

UPDATE

Checking virus in both O.S. in my computer

Windows: Clean (Checked with McAffe)
Ubuntu: Clean (Checked with Clamscan)

Best Answer

"Steam Account Password Reset" email

If you're received "Steam Account Password Reset" e-mail - you're safe. The only thing you can do is filter those e-mails so they will not bother you ("skip inbox" action in gmail filters).

"Your Steam account: Access from new device" email

Bad. Someone just tried to login with correct password. I'm not sure if it's possible to trigger this e-mail without correct password. You should contact steam support.

p.s. Some antivirus companies provide free "one-time virus scanner" (NOT a trial version!) like fully portable dr.web cureit (don't check "I'd like to receive news e-mails"!). Also livecd/liveusb version.

Why do I keep getting Steam login emails?

It's usually one of two things. Either a scammer sending fake Steam Guard emails hoping you will click on a link and get your account information or there's another account out there that somehow has your email address on it. Usually it's a case of having some old, long forgotten account.

How did someone get into my Steam account?

Viruses, key loggers, spyware and other malicious code can steal your Steam Account name and password. Before resetting your Steam Account's password, you should run virus and spyware scanners to ensure such programs are not on your computer.

Can someone hack my Steam account?

Steam accounts are hijacked when a hacker manages to break into an account without the owner's permission. Often this is done by stealing passwords with keylogging malware, or through phishing for login credentials on fake sites.

Answer 2

I had this problem and it drove me crazy and I think I've found the answer. Do you have 2 Steam accounts registered to your one email address? Maybe you have an old account that you've forgotten about. Somehow the password to that old unused account is out there, and the constant emails you get from Steam relate to this old account? So no matter what you do, you keep getting emails from Steam. Log out of Steam. Log back in using your email address. It should tell you if you have more than one account. Ask for a password reset on the old account. Then fill in an account deletion request. I hope this is your problem cause it's easy to solve.

Answer 3

Change your username and some data, remove any personal things, check IP address and use an IP address tracker to see where the hacker is. Back up some data (make another account with valuable items or inventory stuff).
