Is this shit for real? GE is Georgia btw, crazy commies attacking?
How can they even get my account name and pass correctly? Im scanning for spyware atm but I also did that 3 days ago and nothing was found so its not a keylogger or anything.

Huh, that's odd. I'd change the password anyway just to make sure. Are you using the Steam authenticator? That pretty much eliminates any brute force attempt right away.

I havent because I hate giving my phone number out to all these companies.

I did change my pass and just used the steam help contact thingie so they can figure out what happened, its their platform that got hacked afterall.

No answer yet, I guess its just too much to ask for a billion dollar company to hire some support staff for the weekends as well...

just got the standard answer which I didnt even bother to reply to, really shameful to see such low quality customer support at one of the biggest pc platforms of all time.

Valve never had good support. It's barely said anymore these days but when Steam used to have downtimes every fucking weekend you heard more people complaining.
