Gabe Newell from Valve Software posted on our very own forums regarding the source code leak. He confirms that it is real, and he describes some trouble he and the company have had recently with hackers. Here's a bit of what he said. Yes, the source code that has been posted is the HL-2 source code... ...What I'd appreciate is the assistance of the community in tracking this down. I have a special email address for people to send information to, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ). If you have information about the denial of service attacks or the infiltration of our network, please send the details. There are some pretty obvious places to start with the posts and records in IRC, so if you can point us in the right direction, that would be great. So by all means, if you know anything about what Gabe described, please email them. We don't want Valve to have more problems. You can view the whole thread here ( http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10692 ). So I do think it's pretty real! What a horror for Valve!!!!!!
