Nah.

A) Steam notified everyone quicker.

B) Steam itself wasn't hacked. It's forums were, which was taken down.

C) Steam has Steam guard... so there was no need for it to be taken down even if it had been hacked. I mean, Gabe Newell's user information and password are on the internet, given by him. Daring people to hack him. As far as I know it hasn't happened yet.  The actual Personal user account info is pointless.

D) Valve doesn't store the credit cards security number which greatly reduces their use. ( I believe i read this anyway)

E) The most disturbing thing in the Steam hack, just like the sony hack is actually the billing adresses, not the credit cards.  Sometime after the Sony hack, the credit card market became flush with credit cards.   You can get a stolen credit card for a few pennies now.  Unless you paid with a platnium card, the chances of your credit info being used is pretty low now.

F) Valve actually apologized after announcing the hack.  Versus Sony who seemed to take weeks to actually apologize.
