Lost / hacked Account

I made second account and bought something for 5 EUR so I can write here.

I did not play any game for 1 year or so. Last time I bought a game on steam was February 2024.
Today I saw that Hogwarts Legacy was on a big sale and I wanted to buy it, if I will want to play in the future.

Well ofc I forgot the password (or someone changed it). Wanted to reset it, but email was not in database? So next step was to find it with username. I copied my username from some email (its a name with a lot of random numbers after it) I got from steam and proceed - I saw that email address of the account is something completely different?!

I never changed emails address, I have few from the past...but only use 1. I do not remember seeing any mail that change was requested - normally I delete spam mail daily and if I got any (for email address change) I assumed it was spam and deleted it.

Can anything be done? I have mails with details of purchases on my steam account, so this is how I could maybe show Steam support that account is mine?

I am not such a big gamer, like I used to be. But I still enjoy playing from time to time and would really appreciate if anyone knows how to go from here.

Steam support is automated and I cannot do anything there...also I dont see any support email address I could write..

Also my password was not weak..but its true that I didnt change it for a long time..

Maybe playing a bannable game to see in cheats detected?

Spam friends with dodgy gambling, phishing links

Stolen and sold to someone

and I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons I haven't mentioned

I guess u urgently need to change password, mb u once followed some phishing link. More than sure that man who played cs on ur account played it with cheats. Good luck bro

Haha...did not even think about cheating..but I am not a fan of FPS games, so I never really tried any cheating online.

I am in the process of adding authenticator with mobile app. :)

Thanks :)
