Steam Account locked by owner

This morning when I logged on to steam, there had been a notification about my account. It appears that my account has been locked by the owner, however I did not lock the account, meaning that someone else must have done it.

Investigating further, I looked at my email and Amazon and Discord had sent emails for authentication, but I don't think those accounts were accessed. I've sent emails to steam support with proof of ownership and changed the passwords to all my accounts, and I was wondering if there was any other action I can take to unlock the account other than waiting for steam support.
Has anyone else experienced this or is my best bet to wait for steam support? Also could this be relevant to the Cloudflare leak?

highperAlso could this be relevant to the Cloudflare leak?

If you used the same password on all 3 of those services then possibly. Also do you not have 2FA on steam?

If you use the same password everywhere and 2FA nowhere then you are just begging for this to happen honestly. I don't think there's anything you can do besides wait for steam support, at least you were able to update all your passwords.
