That would mean you have a virus on your PC not that Steam DB has been breached, right?
If there is a virus on someone's pc, the antimalware software would notice it, not have i been pwned. Idk who bought this bs up. Steamdb WAS breached. Not my pc was compromised, but Steam
I think you missed the entire premise of the article you linked - the "stealer logs" mean someone logged into your account on a system that had been breached (infected with malware), and the "stealer" "logged" those credentials.
Also, SteamDB and Steam are two very different things. SteamDB is an independent third party offering that just tracks Steam data via their API.
