Who also has Steam on their computers?

A few days ago i noticed some login attempts where Steam says someone (from China) is trying to use account using my account name and password.

This email was generated because of a login attempt from a web or mobile device located at 221.223.196.9 (CN). The login attempt included your correct account name and password.

I went in yesterday and changed my password, but today I see there were 18 attempts. I dont see how they could have gotten my new password unless there is a bug on my computer or a mole in Steam. Very agravating! Anyone else having issues with login attempts?
 
I assume you have 2FA turned on which is good.

I've received those emails from other companies.

Scammers are doing a good job with BOA emails as they look close to real.

Just remember if they provide a link to click on don't. Those emails could be a scam trying to get your info. Go to the companies website yourself.

Data breaches happen all the time and your login and password is now in the hands of criminals.

If you dont have 2FA, make sure you turn it on.
 
Is more common than you think, besides being called "hack" since I started to play BF4, so the attempts to hack my account not just from steam also at EA, but at least the 2FA works

but 5 dola, is the best bet u could have LMAO

The emails are coming from SteamPowered.com. I suspect someone is trying to figure out account using my login name and asking for password.

My account shows no activity since Sept 2019. So no one is playing my games.

It's quite possible to spoof From email addresses, so don't assume it's genuine just because it looks like a legit address and they actually bothered to spell check it!

What puzzles me is how did they know I had just changed my password? Got 25 login attempts this morning over an hour time period.
