Steam GDPR email.

MarkeR · 28 May 2018 at 09:22

Got my gdpr email from steam this morning, strange thing was it was in russian. Anyone else have the same or just me?
I have a strong password and 2 step setup so I haven’t been hacked, plus I checked all the settings within steam as well.

Strange one though.

Wasn't aware steam had sent any emails at all.

I had a privacy update email on 25th May from steam.

Yep me too

I had one in English on the 25th too.

Mine was in English.

Just had a thought, my uplay was hacked last year and the guy had “bought” the last rainbow six, my uplay is linked to steam now, maybe some remnants of the hack still floating around?

Login to Steam on the website and see if it's in Russian?

English, and the language is set to English as well.
Ah well, I know it’s secure as it can be must have been a glitch.

Just this minute got mine. Was in English as expected, but they still appear to be going out .

Ever bought a steam key online?

Haven't read my Steam one yet but I got one from Western Digital in Polish. About 5 days after getting the same one in English too.

Yeah, but not a Russian key. Usually worldwide or EU.

Your account has been compromised. Delete everything and shred your mouse.

I got mine on the 25th, like others, and in English. Maybe check your language/region settings in Steam? Also, have you ever used a VPN to get past a release date unlocking at all? Just a couple of things that might make them think you're Russian?

Had my proper one on the 25th but got one in Spanish to an old email address earlier.

Can't be phishing as they are not asking for anything. Weird.
