My account was hacked and stolen. All my purchased games now belong to the hacker and somewhat he changed my display picture and posted a "leaving RND" in his steam community page.
Edit: the suspected hacker probably doesn't speak English well or has very bad grammar, the country that the hacker might be in are, Russia or America.

So.. Because of the bad grammar and poor spelling, it must be a Russian or american? Is that cultural anti-american elitism I smell? Surely I'm mistaken in thinking you based that assumption on said evidence.
If not, history lesson time. You come from Austraila, which was initially used as a penal colony for the British Empire. Your ancestors were either uneducated primitives or criminals. Hardly the soil in which to sow great literary achievement if ya know what I mean...
Don't mean to get up ya, but from your shit house sentence structure, it's pretty obvious you wouldn't know correct grammar from Bourke Street anyway.

Ahh ok.
Well, to get your account "hacked" you either
1. Gave out your password.
2. Used your steamname for your password.
or
3. Pissed someone off enough to brute-force crack your password (take a lot of time).
Be more careful next time. ;)

When you try to login to that account does it say "Account hijacked" or something close? Thats what happend to me and i just went to the steam forum, Posted about it giving real proof by scanning and showing my CS:S Serial Code on the post. They got the account back for me in about 3 days. *If your account does get hijacked it normally is because too many logins from multiple places.

"3. Pissed someone off enough to brute-force crack your password (take a lot of time)."
I approve of this.

Never use a word from any language as a password. It'll pretty much prevent this kind of brute force password cracking. The first thing an cracking application usually does is run through a dictionary trying common words. I use a 12 character alpha-numeric password for all my stuff. I did the math once and for a program trying a randomly generated password once a second (much faster than most authentications over the net), it would take on average 31 thousand years of 24/7 attempts (one every second) to come up with mine.
