Posted October 2, 200321 yr as you can see http://games.slashdot.org/games/03/10/02/1547218.shtml?tid=126&tid=127&tid=156&tid=172&tid=186 the code is stolen... I saw it on suprnova earlier today... well what does it help us u think? they say it will be easier to create cheats for HL... I suppose the coders wont have to reverse engineer anymore... well the valve guy is whining about dos attacks and keyloggers too... http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=10692&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 I think someone got raged for having his cdkey banned by valve mabye... or mabye his life stolen by games like cs....
October 2, 200321 yr Well t0y or whoever the fuck you are stupid , Valve is headed your way. Hey even if you had nothing to do with it , i have already given your address to [email protected] Let them sort you out.
October 2, 200321 yr Ever have one of those weeks? This has just not been the best couple of days for me or for Valve. Yes, the source code that has been posted is the HL-2 source code. Here is what we know: 1) Starting around 9/11 of this year, someone other than me was accessing my email account. This has been determined by looking at traffic on our email server versus my travel schedule. 2) Shortly afterwards my machine started acting weird (right-clicking on executables would crash explorer). I was unable to find a virus or trojan on my machine, I reformatted my hard drive, and reinstalled. 3) For the next week, there appears to have been suspicious activity on my webmail account. 4) Around 9/19 someone made a copy of the HL-2 source tree. 5) At some point, keystroke recorders got installed on several machines at Valve. Our speculation is that these were done via a buffer overflow in Outlook's preview pane. This recorder is apparently a customized version of RemoteAnywhere created to infect Valve (at least it hasn't been seen anywhere else, and isn't detected by normal virus scanning tools). 6) Periodically for the last year we've been the subject of a variety of denial of service attacks targetted at our webservers and at Steam. We don't know if these are related or independent. Well, this sucks. 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]. 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. We at Valve have always thought of ourselves as being part of a community, and I can't imagine a better group of people to help us take care of these problems than this community. Gabe

October 2, 200321 yr more: -Global- Distribution of the Half Life 2 source code is a violation of copyright law and our AUP. If we catch you (even just sharing links to it), we will remove you from GamesNET and inform Valve. This is your ONLY warning. gamesnet mass msg.
