Default This is hilarious - How to get your Steam account pwned!

This is freakin' hilarious (and since Steam is coming to 360 w/ HL2, I deemed it necessary to put in here), read it!

Quote:
Pharmboy writes "It seems a 13 year old was trying to pose as a Steam employee to gain access to someone else's account, and had the tables turned on him. In a battle of wits, it helps to be smarter than the next guy." From the post: "br0kenrabbit says: Unlike you, I DO work for Valve. Trace my ip and you'll see. Greg_ValveOLS says: huh?" In the interests of being nice to Futuremark's forums, I've gone ahead and pasted the whole coversation below. Read More for the entire, priceless, exchange.

That's pretty funny, and while I generally despise all 13 year-olds on the internet and wish they were banned from it, this definately helps make up for it.

I almost feel sorry for him. And then I remember he was being a little s**t in the first place, and had it coming.

The guy ended up giving the account back the next day, but I'm sure the kid cried himself to sleep that night.
