FBI and HL2

[CSN NewsBot]

The BBC is reporting that the FBI has conducted major raids for various members of a team of hackers who stole the Half-Life 2 source code last year.

The agents were accompanied by US Secret Service representatives, according to Mr Toshok. They questioned him about a group known as the Hungry Programmers, with whom Mr Toshok previously shared a house, he said.

Perhaps we're also seeing a sneak peek at one of the missions in CS2? Find the stolen source code!

They haven't been convicted of anything, therefore they're innocent. Don't assign guilt before a conviction; this is one of the first rules of good journalism. Technically, (although it will never come to this) this is libel, and these 'hackers' could sue you for damages.

Holy shit I mean I knew that Valve took this very seriously..but i didnt think they'd actually get the FBI and Secret Service involved in this. If i was the hackers I'd be freaken scared...no matter how good you are if you've got the government after you its trouble.

If they were smart, then they would move to Venezuela (for all those CS addicts that daydream about CS in geography, then that is in South America)

THROW EM IN THE SLAMMER

I feel bad for that guy if he wasn't involved in it.
