There's some claim that there was a Steam data breach through the third party 2FA provider "Twilio".

Except that Steam has never used Twilio and Twilio looked at the data and said there's nothing in their database remotely like it.

Also, apparently the "breached" data set consists of archived SMS messages with one time codes, which would be entirely useless 60 seconds after they were sent.

I wouldn't be worried. Change your password if you want, but this is likely not a real breach, and I've seen no claim that it contains any passwords, real or fake.

@ben I'm particularly suspicious about this breach because it's of the "forum post being sensationalized by a forum monitoring company" type, and those are rarely legitimate

@ben (And like. There's an *obvious* motivation here to sensationalize nothingburgers to drum up business)
