A hacker broke into Arc System Works and spread the source code of Guilty Gear. The RCE (remote code execution) fear is promoted by content creators, but it's unlikely.

No, your Steam account isn't hacked. 89 millions of accounts are just some SMS logs, possibly stolen from one of the major mobile carriers in Europe. And they are not even covering 89m users, only up to 50m.

Despite that, an awkward hacker have tried to sell this chunk of data for $5K, pretending that it will allow the buyer to get into affected accounts.

The only possible outcome from this leak is spam and phishing: do not open links in messengers, email, etc. It is generally a bad idea, not just because of the leak. And do not enter your Steam credentials anywhere.

Fake emails helped hackers to gain access to NPM packages with 2 billion weekly downloads. Yep, I never trust NPM, PIP, and so on. They are a huge hole in security.

Be very careful with GitHub emails: scammers send out phishing messages to all active GitHub users!

1. No, they are not from GH
2. No, you aren't getting $$
3. Yes, believing this would be dumb, but apparently thousands did and it's been out for a few days only
