Source Code Leak Megathread

[Spawn of Totoro]

Please make post about the leak here. I will add to this post if I hear anything.

Q: Was this really leaked?

A: I don't know. I made this to keep all the post under wraps and for a central place information can be posted as it is available.

Update - Yes, may have been leaked. Don't want to say my self for sure, until Valve has confirmed though.

Official response:

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.

As always, playing on the official servers is recommended for greatest security.

We will continue to investigate the situation and will update news outlets and players if we find anything to prove otherwise. In the meantime, if anyone has more information about the leak, the Valve security page (next tweet) describes how best to report that information.

Q: Do I have to make my profile private?

A: ... not unless you want to. Source code would have nothing to do with your account and is strictly game related.

Q: What about the video/images of people in TF2 gettin hacked?

A: Fake. Notice each video has a different way of showing how they were "hacked".

They can't do much with skins only delete them i think I don't think they have the ability to make it so they have whatever skins they want.

they could force accept a trade but that would only work on a handfull people cuz phone auth

how is steam trade a part of the cs:go source code?

[Anero]

The code 2 years old but I would still not play csgo for a while. Better safe than sorry

They got the source code from csgo. They didnt hacked steam server...

common sense :)

Also the steam server are build with the csgo source code and the root password is written in the source code in plain text

[Echo NO Aim]

Nice. Finally. Thank you very much!

[User]

its true i think dont play source games right now

[Echo NO Aim]

Also I don't understand why people now private their profiles. Does it even matter?

[Defy]

Honest answer: nobody knows

Firstly:

We don't know how relevant the code is, it could be completely out of date and useless - or still important.

Secondly:

IF the code is still relevant, we don't know if there is anything to exploit - and what that would involve.

I wouldn't listen to any speculation or rumours until Valve make a statement, or an ACTUAL exploit is proven / found.

@Spawn of Totoro , quick question, thru the src, are ppl able to execute viruses to the ppl who play online in cs, and so on.?

i can assure you the steam servers are completely seperate to a 2 or 3 year old version of csgo source code.

Seems like this is true after all... Welp, time to leave source games for now.
