Hackers found a clever new way to hack Steam accounts. Here's how to make sure that you're staying safe.

Hackers are once again targeting gamers, and this time around, you could lose your Steam account if you’re not careful.

Hackers send messages to potential victims via Steam, asking them to join a game of Counter-Strike, Dota 2, League of Legends, Rocket League, PUBG, or another popular esports title. Even if the user doesn’t accept, the hackers request that they vote for their team and provide a link to a website that looks to be an esports organization.

There’s one problem, though. The login page is not an actual browser window. Instead, it is a fake window that’s embedded within the current page. With this phishing kit, the fake window can even be dragged around, minimized, and maximized, closely resembling a regular pop-up.
