Valve released an update for the Steam client beta version on October 30, making many adjustments.Notably, warnings are now displayed in internal Steam chats for messages that may contain malicious content.

In this Steam client beta update, a number of updates have been made, including fixes for some bugs in game recording and the "Remote Play Together" function.Additionally, in Steam chat, when a suspicious message is received, a warning will appear at the top of the chat window.Also, while this warning is displayed, links in the chat will become invalid and unclickable.

The Steam platform has long been rife with scams that abuse chat/private message connections.In terms of techniques, attackers will pretend to be game testers, and game players or team administrators (especially in the case of "Counter-Strike 2") will send private messages such as "Yes, this is a gift" or "I am team xxx and want to invite you to join" with website links attached, resulting in players' game inventory and accounts being hacked and suffering heavy losses.In addition, in terms of stand-alone games, there have been scams that pretended to be "Deep Sea Trek 2", and pretended to be "Elden's Ring: Reign of Night", which has not been tested online at all on Steam, and other game test winning notifications.

Currently, this feature is only available for beta updates, so it is expected to take some time to be officially implemented on the Steam client.By the way, Steam provides a feature called "Steam Guard" that can be set up for two-factor authentication through a mobile app.You may be able to better protect yourself from hackers by enabling this feature.However, the most important thing is to fundamentally avoid clicking on suspicious links.For example, for game test notifications, you should first verify the information through official channels and avoid clicking on any links easily.
