The Steam Summer Sale is well under way and a phishing scheme is trying to make sure your wallet isn't the only thing feeling the pain.
According to researchers at Malwarebytes, a scheme that first launched earlier in the year whereupon users were tricked into giving up their SSFN files to scammers has evolved to become more of an automated process.
The SSFN file exists to keep you from needing to verify your machine each time you log in to your Steam account.
When you log into your Steam account from an unrecognized source, a Steam Guard window will pop up asking for a verification code that Steam sends to the email address associated with the account. The scam uses a fake Steam page where users enter their username and password, at which point a fake Steam Guard window appears asking the user to upload the SSFN file from their computer.
