Petey the Password Pirate says: "Change yer passward, ya scurvey dog!"

Valve announced 11/10/2011 their online digital store and multiplayer network databases experienced a security breach and data loss. Go change your Steam and Steam Forum passwords ASAP.

This highlights again how bad of an idea it is to use the same password for multiple services. It's a far better idea to use an encrypted password vault, such as KeePass.

"Move over Lady Gaga, here comes LaDY GLaDOS. While the latest Jonathan Coulton single will still cost you, Valve has posted 22 tracks - totaling more than an hour - of Portal 2's electro-trippy ambient soundtrack for free download, complete with album art and ringtones. Even if you're not a Portal fan, this is worth grabbing for tracks like Science is Fun and the hauntingly catchy Turret Wife Serenade."
