Dozens took to forums and social media to post warnings about the leaks that specifically called out the potential for remote code execution attacks, but there is nothing that confirms such vulnerabilities have been found in TF2, CS:GO, or any other game running on Source. On the leading TF2 subreddit, moderators are tagging claims of new exploits and hacks as "unverified" in an attempt to manage disinformation and trolling. In the meantime, communities for both Team Fortress and Counter-Strike are struggling with the fallout of the leaks. Valve has issued numerous updates to both TF2 and CS:GO since 2017, including security and exploit patches (such as a recent fix for a rash of TF2 server-crashing bots). Hours prior to Valve's response, Creators.TF, a popular community hub for Team Fortress 2, announced it was shuttering its multiplayer servers "for the foreseeable future" out of concern for its infrastructure and the security of players in the light of the leak.

Valve is also directing anyone with useful information about the leak to its security page for steps on how to report those details. Lombardi says Valve will investigate the situation further and provide updates to players if security concerns do emerge. "From this review, we have not found any reason for players to be alarmed or avoid the current builds (as always, playing on the official servers is recommended for greatest security)." "We have reviewed the leaked code and believe it to be a reposting of a limited CS:GO engine code depot released to partners in late 2017, and originally leaked in 2018," Valve's Doug Lombardi told USgamer over email. But in a new statement, Valve says there's currently no cause for concern.

Today, communities for both games as well as other multiplayer games and mods that run on the Source engine are nervous: A reported source code leak for TF2 and CS:GO created a panic about engine exploits and hacking. Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email Counter-Strike: Global Offensive regularly sits atop the list of most-played games on Steam, and though it's far eclipsed in player count, 2007's Team Fortress 2 regularly joins CS:GO in the top 10.
