My Steam on Windows got hacked and I lose 7750rs.

It's far worse than what the previous commenter was suggesting: there's no mfa confirmation for purchases regardless of purchase value eg: If the hacker purchased an item for $500, they still wouldn't get asked for mfa.

Unless you're going to examine the network requests going out of your system, you should format and reinstall windows. Considering this optional is a mistake.

Yep I already made my mind to for clean install.
 
Have you recently come across people messaging you to join FACEIT to be part of their team or vote for their team or anything similar?
I would suggest you to set your inventory to private so that folks you play CS with wont be able to see your cases.

if your Steam Account get hacked and they change credentials you will need some proof to prove that you own that account to get back. But if their purpose to get money from it they will sell your inventory and buy cheap stuff from their own acc from your account at high price so convert money from item. In this case steam wont help because as per their rule once item sold through steam market can not be refund. For selling high price inventory you need to approve it from steam guard assuming there is no vulnerability on steam mobile app. What best can you do is just dont keep balance on steam wallet, as Steam wont send any confirmation notification by any means when you/theif buy something with steam balance.

no. the scammer listed his trash items on steam for 100x priced and used OPs account to buy those items which basically transferred his steam balance to theirs. This is a new fear unlocked for me. I have like 12k steam wallet balance as I am cashing out my cs2 skins.

Thanks, that clears things up a lot.
So basically, they dump your inventory by trading with their own accounts and there's no way to reverse it because Steam sees it as a legit sale.
Still, I feel like in cases where trash items were bought for super inflated prices, it’s pretty obvious it’s a scam. I know Steam support is hit or miss, but you should keep messaging them,maybe if enough pressure is there, they’ll at least review it properly
