Valve, the company behind the popular gaming platform Steam, has confirmed that attackers compromised the Steam accounts of multiple game developers and updated their games with malware. Fortunately, fewer than 100 users had the infected games installed at the time. In response, Valve is implementing a significant new security check for developers. The company will now require SMS verification for developer accounts. This move comes after a recent attack that compromised Steam accounts of game developers. Valve's decision to tighten up developer security aims to prevent similar incidents in the future.
