My Steam account was stolen

I don't know how, but somebody had linked their email to my account, and has changed the password when I don't even have anything valuable on Steam.

I'm really frustrated about this right now. Words could not describe how angry this has made me.

Have you contacted Steam support? (I know it's terrible)

I haven't even figured out how, but it's probably a lot more simple than it appears to me.
If you want support from Valve them self's you have to get a ticket in steam support but i heard it may take a few days to respond.

A few days is an understatement, but Valve can help you get your account back. You can contact support here.

Anyways, general anti-phishing questions:
Did you click on any "odd" links sent to you? (misspelled steam community links, odd-looking urls, etc)
Have you clicked on a link sent to you by a user that downloaded something?
Did a user instantly message you after you accepted their friend request to "add their alternate account"? (These are phishing bots)
Do you have two-step verification on? (Steam recently made a push for all users to add this.)
