HL2 Source Files - A Word Of Caution!!
Well, we knew this was going to happen eventually, but many of the hosting providers are helping Valve with logs from various websites that had the HL2 Source leak files.
If you have downloaded these files over the internet by P2P, IRC, a Website, or even FTP, chances are that your IP and identity with your local service provider has been recorded. If you used a Proxy to hide your mask, that will not work as the various hosting providers will trace the route and eventually find out who you are.
A word of extreme caution - do not get involved with this matter by downloading the HL2 Source Engine files. If you have downloaded these files, DELETE THEM OFF YOUR COMPUTER.
Another word of caution! If you downloaded these files you are at RISK by the hackers/crackers that stole these files! These files can contain trojans, viruses, and other remote tools to easily invade your privacy and your security. Even if you have the latest and greatest Trojan/Virus scanning tools, they will NOT protect you from these newly released trojans and/or viruses.
Remember, hackers/crackers stole the property. Their goal is to destroy. Dont allow yourself open for them to distrupt your security like they did at Valve. DELETE THE HL2 FILES FROM YOUR COMPUTER and pretend you never had them! Don't get involved in this matter by keeping the HL2 Source Engine files. This is a criminal act.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not an attempt to scare anyone. This is an attempt to educate and inform you to stay away from the sites that have hosted the HL2 Source Files. Delete the files if you have them. You will thank us later.
