The Net's Sleuths

Guardian Unlimited, an online newspaper, has an interesting article detailing the Half-Life 2 source code arrests. While there is nothing truly mind blowing to be read, this is a fairly decent read if you have 5 minutes to spare.

Having accessed Valve's server through a security-bypassing loophole in Windows, the hackers were able to download an early and hugely incomplete version of Half-Life 2 and post it on the internet for downloading via Usenet. A boxed version of the code was even on sale on the Ukrainian and Russian black markets.

Read all about it here.

Someone posted that at the Steam forums, I read it before. I woudlnt want to be that hacker, though. He'll be in prison, and the other inmates there will ask him what he did, he'll have to explain that he stole the HL2 source code, hahaha.
