Valve Warns Steam Machine Owners Their Personal Details May Have Been Stolen

Valve Warns Steam Machine Owners Their Personal Details May Have Been Stolen https://ift.tt/rK7hMxI Valve has begun notifying customers of its Steam Machine PC that their personal details may have been compromised. Affecting European owners of the PC, Valve says that a logistics company that helps ship the unit in that region was the target of a cyberattack, although "additional information" related to Steam accounts remains safe. Because the company holds onto consumer information for up to 90 days, details like a client's name, street address, phone number, and email address may have been acquired.

Before the trio pitched Cobra Kai to be made, they were actually rather successful in the world of raunchy R-rated films. Hurwitz and Schlossberg were the writers behind the Harold & Kumar films, before they teamed with Heald to write both Hot Tub Time Machine films. So, if anything, Obliterated is their way of going home again, after several years writing for teenage characters. Still, the change was a shock to the system, at first.

"It was like going off of an extreme diet and just eating like all the fast food and comfort food that you would want, because we come from that R-rated world," Schlossberg explained. "We love comedy that pushes the envelope. Working on Cobra Kai, that tone doesn't really play into the Karate Kid universe. So we don't use that part of our brains when we write Cobra Kai."
