Basically, an at-large hacker hacked into Valve, stole the source code and beta version, and more. Basically, they have to spend a lot of time re-working the code because now people who know what they're doing could theoretically hack you personally when you play online since they know how the code works. And many other malicious things...

and that's only the tip of the iceberg for possibilities.

It's basically all the programming code that makes up software. Kinda funny that someone would steal it, eh? You don't hear about that too often.

Heh.

It's true you don't hear about it too often but I bet it happens alot. Many companies may not want the fact that they've been hacked to get out... because if 1 can do it so can a whole lot of others.
