For one, HL2 would never reciave this kind of coverage if nothing happened, if they acted like every other corporate entity, and did not comment on the security breach they would not get so much FREE advertising. Oh and by the way.. a security expert will tell you right away that telling the world that you were hacked is the last thing you want to do, primaraly its because you dont want the hacker to get the benfit of his work becoming public. The best strategy would have been to deny the hack if the hacker claimed that there was one, and if he posted code, you say that yes further investigation proved that one of our workstation had a back up of the source made some XX monthes ago, and its possible that this code might have been available to someone who looked in... you dont have to tell them that the founders email was hacked and that the whole projects directory tree was copied.. and then post it all over every board, and ask help from the community (for what??? they need help, go the police or the FBI's internet crime devision, they have much more resources to track down hackers) Free News, there is not a publisher in the world who would not give his soul to have their products advertised for free on major networks.
