Same problem here. It happens randomly after several hours of normal server work. You can also see the message "Got Steam2 authentication from unknown user" in server console at each connect attempt. That's basically the only trace that someone tries to connect to your server.

Starting yesterday on all my source servers (2 hl2mp, 1 dods, and 1 hidden source) won't let any players connect until I restart them. Now this is strange to me because the servers already reboot every morning at 7am pacific. Every player who tries to connect before I reboot it gets this error: Steam validation rejected.
