What account? 🤷‍♂️
Can't really do much with them 3 pieces of info. Just never ever give them your SSN, your moms maiden name and birth date cause then you will have a lot more problems then just a stolen steam account.

That kind of information is pretty common on the internet. Most people don't even realize.

But what do you mean, 'access to your address'? They don't have your key? Or do you mean they are going to try to figure it out with what they know? Don't bother, that's what they want you to feel.

But just change your passwords to something you've never used before. Your name and phone number isn't the end of the world. If they call a lot, just change your number. Not the biggest deal.
I thought I'd be an easy target, i leak information like a sieve.
I'd go full out Jason Bourne, complete identity wipe, always carry 12 passports. This is the life we live now.

Consequences will never be the same.
Update i got my account back reported him and he only has my age and name, he can't do anything as he is in belarus
Bill Gates is 69

name and ages are everywhere...

hopefully your self security will benefit from this experience.
if enough people steal all of your information enough times you'll have a hard time signing up for stuff but none of them will be able to.

i don't think they did access my address or credit card details
This is why I never use my real name online. Even when Amazon mails me a package they’re like “A package for Dax”.
