If you've used Steam in the last 48 hours you should have got an alert from them.

Security expert Paul Ducklin, writing on the blog of security firm Sophos, handed down advice about what to do following the breach.

He said users should change passwords, monitor credit card statements, consider removing card numbers from Valve's servers and sign up for the Steam Guard security service.
Do you reckon Steam paid him to say that....

...and really, does that give you the confidence to sign up for it?
