Steam is incredibly good at returning hacked accounts. A personal experience of mine: I was hanging with a friend and it turned out he had clicked a disguised link that led to his account being hacked. He got that account back before the day was over with, and without many issues other than a single game ban (that he just hasn't bothered to see about getting lifted)

I had an account from when I was a teenager, I haven't purchased a game or had a bank account linked so I didn't have access to any prior digital receipts etc. When I got hacked, I explained all of this expecting nothing.

I told them recent games I played, what games I had etc in the hope something could be done. Within 24 hours, they handed me my account back. It was amazing!
