No one knows yet whether this was a hack or a system bug or whatever but it seems that some people have been able to see other accounts info:

Steam Problems Linger After Christmas Fiasco

You might remember that, a few days ago, Steam had a caching issue that let users see each others' personal information. It was kind of A Thing. Since then, Steam has been in a fragile - some would argue busted - state.

Steam's gone down a handful of times since the aptly named Steam Winter Fail. On top of that, multiple users - myself included - have frequently had trouble with Steam's search features, making it difficult to find specific games. Core features like the store and community pages have also been unreliable and, at times, seemingly unresponsive. All these issues have plagued the service for the last few days. Basically, Steam's a crapshoot right now. Maybe it'll work, maybe it'll fall flat on its face.

The biggest issue, however, has involved email verification. Steam accounts are tied to email addresses, and sometimes things like logins on new machines or trades need manual verification via email. Unfortunately, for the past few days many of these emails haven’t been sending. The issue seems especially prevalent for people using Microsoft email addresses (Outlook, Hotmail, etc). As a result, some Steam users have been unable to complete trades and/or have been locked out of their accounts entirely. Predictably, people aren't pleased.
