    What you have here is a malware link, sent by a likely compromised account, with the intent of hijacking your own account. Due to changes in our investigative policy, we do not accept such reports anymore. As such, I am archiving this.

    Also please keep in mind that users posting phishing/malware links are often phished/hijacked themselves, and their account is being used to try and hijack even more accounts. For that reason, it's best to leave these cases to Valve/Steam as we do not have the resources to handle such cases; the victim would have to appeal their tag once they regained access to their account.
