Can anyone clarify what causes this, and/or how to fix it? Thanks.

No, this was before Steam

No, this was before Steam forums were hacked. It has nothing to do with that. I can get in to my account fine, it's just sometimes Steam seems to go haywire and I can't for a few minutes.

Update: I am getting this

Update: I am getting this error multiple times a day now. I am also being randomly disconnected when my connection seems to be fine. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

The stat are posted with a bit of lag time, but if you have issues during the dips, it means a portion of the Steam system crashed and knocked out a segment of the users.
