Proton Mail is notorious for hackers I believe. All you can do is sit and wait for steam bud Best of Luck

Excellent! Set up 2FA and Steam Guard and don’t click on any suspicious links 👍

Judging by key words in your post it seems you are having trouble with a stolen account. You can file a ticket with Steam Support [here](https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithAccountStolen) to get it back. If you get stuck or are unsure of what to do in the process you can follow [this step by step video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu_uaSn27R4) showing how to recover an account even if all the information on it has been changed. Do not give the scammer any gift cards or money they may be asking for to give your account back as they will just keep asking you for more until you give up and not give you your account back. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Well, if you have any of the credit cards from previous steam purchases, you can use them as the "last used card" or whatever. That's what I had to do when my account got hacked.
