Counter-Strike: Condition Zero has been leaked, for the second time in its life. Technically, the first leak was of Ritual Entertainment's version of the game back in October when the HL2 source code was leaked. This latest leak is of the Turtle Rock Studios version of the game which we previewed in October. There's no telling how old or new this leak is, but I will say that I previewed CS:CZ the day after the big HL2/CS:CZ leak was discovered, so it's quite possible that the intruder had the Turtle Rock files on hand and had been waiting to release them.
Another possible leak source could be the game's publisher, Vivendi. Vivendi, parent company of Sierra, has seemingly been purposefully with-holding CS:CZ from release. A leak from a low-level employee would not be too out of the ordinary. In fact, many PC games are warezed days before release through similar internal piracy.
A third possible scenario is a member of the gaming press deciding to release a preview version of the game to the public.
Regardless of the how, why and when, CS-Nation recommends players avoid all illegal copies of CS: Condition Zero floating around. In fact, avoid illegal copies of any game.
