The source code for TF2 has been leaked to 4chan with reports stating that hackers have already cracked the code allowing them to remote access anyone’s computer who happens to be in a game with them.<\/p>\n
Gamers are being warned to not play or even uninstall any Source engine based games which include Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Gary’s Mod and Half-Life 2.<\/p>\n
The leak appears to come from a clandestine group of hackers and modder that who regularly shared Source Engine code, and who went by the name Lever Softworks. They would attempt to recreate unreleased games and investigate the source code as a hobby.<\/p>\n
The code in question was reportedly leaked back in “late 2018” but on 22nd April the code found its way onto the notorious 4chan website.<\/p>\n
