That’s right folks, apparently Valve, the creators of the award-winning game series “Half-Life”, has been hacked yet again.
” MaddoxX, of the anti-Valve website No-Steam.org, has an ax to grind. He says he’s hacked the Steam servers in the past, swiping information. Up to now, it’s just been to prove a point — and score a few free games. In fact, MaddoxX says that he’s been tooling around on the Steam server’s back door since January. “I did try [to] contact them several months ago. At the time, I didn’t do anything harmful — just got [a few free copies of games] but never heard anything from them,” he says. “Later,” the steamed hacker adds, “I tried to warn them to fix bugs…but as usual, they don’t listen.”
The hacker apparently hacked the Cyber-Cafe servers, and stole tons of customer information and credit card numbers.
Valve REALLY needs to upgrade their firewalls and anti-hack devices. Either that, or like always they’ll use it as an excuse to delay Episode 2.

Gotta love valve. Another reason I am glad I haven’t bought anything over steam.
You are soo right, I remember then they used someone getting their source as an excuse for delaying HL2 for 6 months+. So someone has your code means the game isn’t finish? riiighht
