Valve has finally issued a statement on the problems that plagued Steam on Christmas day. On December 25, the company says, "a configuration error resulted in some users seeing Steam store pages generated for other users."
The issues were caused by a denial-of-service attack that increased traffic to the Steam store by 2000% more than average during Steam sales. Valve enabled caching rules "managed by a Steam web caching partner" to decrease the impact of the attack and "route legitimate user traffic." In the second wave of the attack, "a second caching configuration was deployed that incorrectly cached web traffic for authenticated users."
