Default STEAM accounts getting hacked

Be aware this has suddenly become a big issue over the past few days. I know this goes on all the time but now there is a hacker targeting on specific websites (It seems that way) to do this.

I don't know if any of you actually use STEAM for anything but it's still worth mentioning.
If you get a link to a website with the .tk extension, DO NOT click it! Also be aware that once this happens, your machine is probrably compromised already.

Putting the word out on this just so you guys know about it.
