Your account was compromised because you gave away your login details, allowing the hijackers to get in and trade away all your stuff.

No security measures will stop this from happening, because if a user hands out their details (via scams) then that's on them.

Steam has also opted to not replace any lost items because of prior abuse of that system.

Hope you learned your lesson.

So which external websites did you use that asked you to login with your Steam account?

I always have wallet funds.

you got scammed bro

As far as I know, if no one knows your steam login name then they can't hack your account. So, who did you tell?

Your account has been compromised.

Do ALL of these. Every single one.

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours
3. Deauthorize all other devices https://steamhost.cn/twofactor/manage
4. Change passwords from a trusted/clean device
5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://steamhost.cn/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)
7. Make sure your steam recovery email account is secure

Steam support will not restore any items or wallet funds that have left the account for any reason.

If any lost items are from a Trade Protected game, you might be able to recover them. See:

I've had up to $200 in wallet funds sit over 6 months before with no problem.

You WILLINGLY Handed the keys to your house away sincé you went to a third party trading(scam) site in the hopes to trade stuff...

You used your Steam credentials to log in to that site... they stole those details and sat on them for a while untill they thought it worth while to steal from you...

You have only yourself to blame...

And your stuff are gone...

It still hurts to lay your hand on a hot stove... it will never change...

Imagine getting scammed in 2025

You probably used some stupid csgo scam site

I have no problems having a Steam balance because I do not give away my account details to criminals.

Once I sold an expensive item on Steam and a week later at night I see 33 items bought without my knowledge for $0.6 each for a total of $20 when the real price of one item is $0.001, yesterday the same thing happened but only for $2.

That's unexpected.

I can see how hijackers stay out of sight until "it's worth it" -- which would be the first $20 theft you described. But, I would have assumed that they'd be going all-out, piling game bans on your account and using it for all kinds of nefarious things.

Instead, it seems they just waited for you to give them more money? Arguably, they went with the $2 opportunity instead of waiting for another $20-- but still: if you have hijackers on your account, KICK THEM OUT instead of just letting them sit there forever...

There are lists of things to do floating around, but the two most important steps are "deauthorize all devices" (this will end all login sessions and invalidate all login keys, so everyone will have to do the full credentials+2FA procedure again), and removing the API key if one exists (that one gives access to some aspects of the account).

Never had any security issues on my end because I'm careful and there are a ton of safeguards. One of my friends was not smart and used some weird website that stole his credentials and he got his account hijacked for a couple of days but got it back.

Just be careful. It's not complicated. If something seems fishy, don't do it
