I know alot of you have probably already seen or heard, but there is a new issue going around steam ~ have a quick read , quoted from the reddit page :
https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/5skfg4/warning_regarding_a_steam_profile_related_exploit/
''Currently, there is a risk (i.e. phishing, malicious script execution, etc.) involved when viewing or simply opening PROFILE pages of other steam users as well as your OWN activity feed (both desktop and mobile versions on all browsers including steam browser/chromium). I would advise against viewing suspicious profiles until further notice and disable JavaScript in your browser options. Do NOT click suspicious (real) steam profile links and Disable JavaScript on Browser. Appropriate information has been forward to Valve and this issue should be resolved soon, sorry for any inconvenience.''
''TO THOSE POSSIBLY AFFECTED:
Change your Steam Account password, enable Mobile Authenticator if it's not on already (otherwise deauthorize other computers on Steam Guard on all systems from settings) then restart your modem/change IP. You might want to also consider scanning your system with a malware scanner/anti-virus.''
EDIT:: The issue has been fixed, thank you.
