So wait did they catch the guy who actually hacked Valve or just the guy who programmed the trojan, or are they one and the same. (if anyone can understand that article)

From what I've heard offline, it's the same person.

Ahahaha the news would have probably been easier to read if you just read it in german. Even if you can't read german.

Can someone who speaks both German and English PLEASE do a better job of translating that article for us? I really had a hard time following what was reported.



Danke much.

Poor guy, I bet he just wanted to check out the "Alyx" model files. :P

Have you seen any news from the past week?

[StealthMonkey]

YAY! I AM SO HAPPY! DIE MOTHER FUCKER!

It states that he was the one behind the operation out of an unknown number of people who ploted this attack.



And yes. Its alot easier to read it in "Germen" (Some people still can't master there own language they speak all the time...), when you can speak German.

damn no more leak updates...... (not that i care) just tells us really what VALVe is doing,witch is not much!

i hope u know that "patch" for the leaked version was in no way official(as in completely by some random person), and i wouldnt be surprised if it had some type of virus or trojan.

And yet according to other news sites the guy was set free.



I was waiting for an English written article about this before posting this newsbit when I first found it three days ago.

It's true. As proof, Heise.de gave this chat log:

Someone sent this in anonymously to a Half-Life 2 Source Code "Resource Page" which has long been inactive.



Also, http://world.altavista.com/ gives a slightly better translation. Only the first 3 paragraphs actually talk about the Half-Life 2 leak.

Normally I would post something about how much of a moron this person is. But I think this time, it unnecessary.



W00t! to the catching of this asshole.
