  I know, right? It’s too little for that amount of information. I mean, almost 100 million compromised accounts is not few.

  From what I understand personal info is peanuts. You buy it in bulk, cheap.

    It was put out that everyone should change their passwords. That kind of info for like 90 million steam accounts would fetch a much higher price or ransom than some personal info on a bunch of people like names, phone numbers and an address.

      Considering that some people’s accounts hold literally 100s of thousands of dollars worth of skins and cosmetics…

      You can hit some serious jackpots if you get access to the right account the right way.
