Some gamers were "Steam"-ing on Christmas as Valve's popular digital gaming store was afflicted with server and privacy problems.<br />The glitches with the Steam service, including users being able to see others' personal information as well as the store itself going offline, were the result of a technical error that has since been fixed, a Valve representative said in a statement Friday.<br />"Steam is back up and running without any known issues," the statement reads.<br />"As a result of a configuration change earlier today, a caching issue allowed some users to randomly see pages generated for other users for a period of less than an hour.<br />This issue has since been resolved.<br />We believe no unauthorized actions were allowed on accounts beyond the viewing of cached page information and no additional action is required by users."<br />Steam's own security tools, Steam Guard and Steam Mobile Authenticator, did not appear to help prevent the potential reveal.
