Valve literally told the guy who spread the news on Twitter that they do not use Twillo as a SMS 2FA provider at all: https://twitter.com/MellowOnline1/status/1922458687316074640
Good on TechRadar for actually bothering to mention BleepingComputer's article about it, but they still didn't mention where the news originated from.
It all began in this LinkedIn post, which wrongfully claimed that the "leak" was coming from Twillo (Also funny is that this is an AI company): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/underdark-ai_cybersecurity-databreach-steam-activity-7327022917370703872-JqN3/
Then the Twitter guy got involved in it, then the "news" sites ran off with what the guy on Twitter said.
Lemme just quote this insightful comment in Steam subreddit as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1kmeoqo/steam_doesnt_use_twillo_no_need_to_change/ms9n1xx/
Change your passwords if you want to, but there is no need to panic.
Btw, selling 89 MILLION Steam accounts' data for just 5000$? Really???
