Hackers have been using other people's SteamIDs since May at least (at
least
that was the first time I saw this happen.) I see it at least 1-2 times a
month on either one of my servers, or one on of the servers I frequent.
The
hacker who got one of my SteamIDs banned kept coming into my CAL clan's
public server and kicking me off the server.

There is a logging bug in the game server right now where steam id's for
players very occasionally get mixed up, we are looking into it. However,
this mixup CANNOT cause you to be banned, the game server has nothing to
do with cheat banning. It is also not possible to Steam a SteamID, you
need the Steam account name and password to get access to a Steam ID
(with the exception of the above logging bug, but that does not effect
ANY other steam services).

Haven't had so many problems with crashing such as this, but I have
had lots and lots of the SteamID stealing, including one my own
SteamIDs. Within 2-3 weeks of this, all the SteamIDs were banned.
This means that I play competition with a SteamID that I only use
for competition play and another SteamID for pubbing. I hope the
SteamID stealing problem gets fixed. In all cases I have seen, the
servers have been VAC2 enabled.
I wonder what the official Valve stance is on the SteamID stealing.

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
I own and operate the LANFusion gaming community. We have 5
source servers, and in the past week have been experiencing many
problems with the servers going down. At first I thought it was
something to do w/ the admin mods, however, I have traced it to a
group of hackers. Basically, one of these guys comes into the
servers, and starts using all the normal hacks (walls, aim, you
name it). Then, when he knows he's been bagged (or about to be)
he starts spamming text or music which tells people "Console hacks
activated, press console button to turn on" (or something to that
point). This gets people in the server to press the console
button, and when they do, their HL2 program freezes. This causes
people in the server to time out, and if enough do it, causes the
server itself to have a memory read error.
Now these people are tricky, because not only can they make the
server crash, but they are using other peoples steam ids. The
only way I have been able to stop them is by banning the IP
address from which they connected. But they just change their IP
address and come right back. I searched through my log files for
the name and IP and found that one guy had connected from the same
IP with about 15 different STEAMIDs. When i searched the
steamid's he had, I saw that those steamid's belonged to other
people who were in the server at the time. I have no idea how he's
masking his actual steamid (or how he's stealing other peoples)
but this is a real problem.
One of my admins traced one of the guys back to a group called ICT
or 'International Coding Team' (* *www.theict.com ). I tried to
register on their forums but my account wouldn't activate. I'm
not positive if these guys are the actual culprits, however, they
are apparently coming out with a ton of hacks.
Valve, are you aware of this exploit? Have any of you guys
experienced a similar problem on your CS:S servers? If so, do you
have any suggestions on how to get around it?

Aaron Matthews
