In what has come as rather shocking news for Counter Strike and Team Fortress 2 players, the source code to both the games were leaked recently on 4Chan initially before spreading to Reddit, Twitter and other gaming forums. The source Code leaked could have problematic repercussions to the gameplay unless and until some immediate action gets taken place by Valve
The leak has caused a stir in the gamers, with most of them tweeting to caution others from playing the game.
There are reports that these source codes can be used by the hackers to target the systems of the gamers with malicious content.
Although Valve in a statement said “We have not found any reason for players to be alarmed or avoid the current [game] builds. As always, playing on the official servers is recommended for greatest security.”

Valve also reported that these files were a part of the source code shared with game and mod developers in 2017. They also stated that there was a leak in 2018 as well but was not as widely circulated as this one.
Source Code Leaked, player says he knew who it was
Tyler McViker from the Valve News Network tweeted,
Although the developer of the game still assures the gamers that it is still safe to play but it is known whenever the source code is available in the open there are people exploiting it. Although there might not be an immediate threat, it is better to stay conscious in the long run. One advantage that Valve has is that both these games are actively maintained so they can easily counteract the threat with a few updates. As of now it’s best to keep our fingers crossed and stay away from the said games.
