Steam gamers are targeted by a trojan that steals their login credentials and defeats the service's password encryption mechanism by using HTML injection.

Attackers stripping users' login data with a variant of the trojan Ramnit since mid-July according to Trusteer fraud prevention solutions manager Etay Maor.

Steam has some 54 million members and was victim of a massive breach in November 2011 when hackers accessed the personal data of up to 35 million customers contained in a database. This time individual users were targeted.
