Valve is enhancing the security of its Steamworks platform by introducing SMS verification for developers to prevent hackers from infiltrating developer accounts. The move comes in response to previous breaches where hackers gained control of developers' accounts and injected malware into game builds. The potential for financial gain is significant when infiltrators access code repositories and cloud infrastructure, allowing them to compromise downstream customers. Valve is implementing changes in Steamworks to mandate associating a phone number with a user's account and implementing two-factor authentication for certain actions. #SteamSecurity #SMSVerification #DeveloperAccounts
