Hot Take:

Hey there, fellow gamer! More like "In-steam-ity" happening over at Valve, right? Hackers are doing what they do best – make us all sweat – by delivering malware through Steam, using compromised game developer accounts. But Valve is hitting back with a two-factor authentication requirement. On the downside, you'll need to pass it via SMS. So, brace yourselves for a whirlwind of SIM swapping hazards. Because nothing says "fun" quite like worrying about cybersecurity while you're trying to beat your high score, am I right?
