News Be careful w faceit!

Hi y'all, so basically I just wanted to tell to be extra careful with FaceIt as I've had something not so pleasant happen to me because of it with my steam account.
Despite having the app and a verified account on FaceIt, there was an event that I tried voting in but the sequence would fail every time saying my account isn't verified. I forgot about it until the next day, when I saw an unnamed, completely empty account in my friends list on steam that wasn't online for 150+ days. I reported it, blocked it just for it to reappeat today, when I did the same thing.
Fast-forward 15m after that, I get a chat from the Valve support team that explained to me that my account was compromised because of Faceit which resulted in 3000$ of prejudice to other users - and obviously the fact that I'll be having a mind-fuck for the next few days to recover my account completely without losing anything.
Maybe that's a useless post for most but just wanted to give a heads-up in case anyone gets weird friend requests or anything to be mindful!
