[It is safe to play again] The Source Code Leaks megathread

F.A.Q

Regarding today's reported leak of code, specifically as it pertains to TF2: This also appears to be related to code depots released to partners in late 2017, and originally leaked in 2018.



From our review, we have not found any reason for TF2 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.

Since the news is kind of a big deal, let's center all discussions here. Existing threads about this can and will be fused there.The source code for TF2 and CS:GO was apparently leaked to the public. For TF2, the codebase seems to be dated around the time of Jungle Inferno's release.UPDATE 4 : Official word on the Team Fortress side of things (thanks to sleep for pointing it out) :UPDATE : They do, and have reviewed it. Source UPDATE 4 : No impact foreseen as per official statement above.Refer to this page for contacting Valve about security matters.Yes.There is a high chance they were fake.No, see official answer above.None, I'm afraid. Either I genuinely don't know, or I am not allowed to share it, which is functionally identical for you guys. If there's news, I'll add it to the FAQ.There's not much more I can answer, but if the question is frequent enough and I get an official answer, I'll add it.
