Steam Forums Hacked

Valve has taken the forums down "for maintenance."

A hacker group by the name of "FknOwned" has hacked into the PC software Steam's forums and posted an ad for their site, which offers "general discussion sections, hacking tutorials and tools, porn, free giveaways and much more." NeoGAF user imek has reported that a similar message was also sent via email from Steam.

Joystiq is also reporting that Valve has taken the forums down "for maintenance" but it appears to be a reaction to the hack. FknOwned has previously enabled cheating in Steam games with unauthorized code. Valve has not released an official comment yet.
