URGENT: DO NOT PLAY TF2 FOR NOW (sourcecode leak)
« on: April 22, 2020, 10:01:52 AM »
Multiple sources (and our friends here) have confirmed there has been a massive breach.  Don't know the full details was just told DO NOT LOAD this game until Valve Fixes it (probably will be quick anyway but just a heads up).

Source code for both CS:GO and TF2 dated 2017/2018 that was made available to Source engine licencees was leaked to the public today.

Fuck this is terrible. Do you think a password protected server is safe to use?

Make your profiles private too so it doesn't get hijacked. We should all take a couple days off and come back when they patch this all up. What a shitty time to do this when everyone is stuck at home.

Sad thing is that TF2 might be finished as a game. At least CSGO makes them money. Not sure if Valve makes any meaningful profit to spend resources on TF2 at this point.

I've been reading about this for the last hour or so. Doesn't seem like there is any solid proof hackers can execute remote code, its all pictures and no video demonstrations.

Its also source code from 2018 with rumors  that its been out there for just as long, and that its probably responsible for all the bots that plagued casual. On top of that it isn't even the entire source code, just a larger chunk of it. You can't compile it in to a working game.

On top of that, I really doubt Steam as a whole is so vulnerable that a game could give hackers full control over someones Steam profile. If it was that bad Valve would have said something by now I'm sure, as they puts everyone at risk.

Looks like everything is fine.

"We have reviewed the leaked code and believe it to be a reposting of a limited CS:GO engine code depot released to partners in late 2017, and originally leaked in 2018. From this review, we have not found any reason for players to be alarmed or avoid the current builds."

Still doesn't explain how the hackers managed to lock my admin application thread though  :-\

I saw that this morning, good news for us.

I would recomand however to: Keep an eyes on anomalies in game, Suspicous behaviour of players (you know what i mean by that Zed), and any news that could impact or change the situation.
