The source code for the popular Valve titles CS: GO and Team Fortress 2 was leaked on Tuesday afternoon, April 21, 2020, local time. Source code leaks threaten hackers to develop exploits and remote code execution (RCE) programs to attack game users.

Meanwhile, at 6:37 PM on Thursday, April 23, 2020, CS: GO's official Twitter account said, `` When we reviewed the leaked source code, this was released for partners in the latter half of 2017 CS : I've reposted the GO code and found that it was originally leaked in 2018, so all the players (playing the latest version of CS: GO) have the current There's no reason to avoid a build, 'the leaked source code was distributed to a very small extent in the past, and is unrelated to users playing the latest version of CS: GO. It is said that. In addition, the CS: GO official account tweeted, 'We recommend playing on the official server for maximum security.'

We have reviewed the leaked code and believe it to be a reposting of a limited CS: GO engine code depot released to partners in late 2017, and originally leaked in 2018.From this review, we have not found any reason for players to be alarmed or avoid the current builds.

In contrast, Valve makes no mention of Team Fortress 2 and does not answer any questions from existing Team Fortress 2 players. Please note that the official Twitter account for Team Fortress 2 has not been updated since August 2019.

Creators.tf, which is particularly popular as an online server for Team Fortress 2, said, 'We are planning to shut down our server in the near future due to a leak in the source code. This is due to the uncertainty surrounding infrastructure security and computer It is a decision that takes into consideration the possibility of damage to the company. ”

Due to the recent source code leak we will be closing our servers for the forseeable future.This is because of the uncertainty surrounding security of our infrastructure, as well as a potential for damage to be caused to your computer.https : // t. co / gWcIKRMPdj

Another popular server, Redsun.tf, has also announced in the community that it will shut down all game servers until it's safe.

According to MOD creator Garry Newman, this leak could lead to an exploit of Valve's source engine ' Source Engine ', so anyone who found an exploit for Source Engine said ' I want you to contact me. ' In addition, Newman also writes, 'There is no evidence that this leak has been exploited at this time.'

So with Source Engine exploits following the leak, everything we've seen so far is obvious fake trolly bullshit.

If you know of a legit exploit first hand, my DMs are open and we'll work to react as soon as possible.

Once again: no evidence of actual exploits at the moment.

According to Ars Technica of overseas media, “Valve creates various games based on the source engine of the game engine, and although the leaked code is CS: GO code only, refer to this code for Team Fortress 2 may have been developed. ' According to the information obtained by Ars Technica, the leaked code is related to the Team Fortress 2 build in 2011, and it is unknown whether RCE etc. can be executed with the latest build based on this code. .
