1. 0:00In 2011, Steam account theft was a
2. 0:02massive problem. To log into an account
3. 0:04, you only needed to know the username
4. 0:06and password. Hackers took advantage of
5. 0:08this and stole thousands of accounts
6. 0:10with expensive games. Gabe really
7. 0:11didn't like this. He quickly developed
8. 0:14Steam Guard, a two-factor
9. 0:15authentication app, but users were
10. 0:17reluctant to download it. They were too
11. 0:19lazy to deal with it. And account
12. 0:21thefts continued. So, Gabe took extreme
13. 0:23measures. At a popular expo, he stepped
14. 0:25on stage, looked at the crowd, and
15. 0:27declared to an audience of millions: "
16. 0:29Steam is invulnerable." Don't believe
17. 0:31me? Here is the login and password for
18. 0:33my personal account. And the login and
19. 0:39password appeared on the giant screen.
20. 0:41It was not a fake. Gabe literally
21. 0:43showed every internet user the login
22. 0:44and password for his account. Just so
23. 0:46you know, it has millions of dollars
24. 0:48worth of games in it. And most valuable
25. 0:49of all, the special functions of an
26. 0:51admin account. Gabe can ban whoever he
27. 0:53wants. As well as create any items,
28. 0:55even the most expensive ones.
29. 0:56Potentially, this account is priceless.
30. 0:58By the way, hackers are still trying to
31. 1:00hack it. For 15 years now. He hasn't
32. 1:02changed the password or login since
33. 1:04that moment. Steam turned out to be
34. 1:05invulnerable. This move is considered
35. 1:07one of the greatest PR stunts, and the
36. 1:09app has already been downloaded by
37. 1:10hundreds of millions of gamers.
