Counter-Strike 2 Huge Security Exploit Allows Malicious Users to Obtain IP Addresses of Entire Servers

A huge security exploit has been discovered in Counter-Strike 2, allowing malicious users to obtain the IP addresses of entire lobbies. As explained by X/Twitter user Ozzny, in the past hours, several users reported a security exploit with Steam names inside the game which allows players to make some visual changes with a simple HTML code linking an image. The issue is that this exploit allows a malicious user to obtain the IP addresses of every player connected to the server with the help of an IP logger. While unconfirmed, this security exploit could potentially allow another user to gain […]

Valve’s Founder Gabe Newell Ordered To Ensure In-Court Presence Amid Steam Anti-Trust Lawsuit

Valve's founder Gabe Newell was recentlyordered to ensure his in-court presence to testify in person for the ongoing lawsuit between Wolfire Games and Valve.

Moreover, the organization says Valve takes an "extraordinarily high cut from nearly every sale", which not only puts the financial integrity of independent developers at stake but has […]

Steam Deck 2.0 Doesn’t Exist Because Technology Is Not There Yet; Valve Is Working on Games Designed for Deck

Valve once again surprised gamers yesterday when it announced the Steam Deck OLED less than a week from its November 16 launch. Early impressions are extremely positive on various aspects, and there are also minor performance improvements thanks to the faster 16 GB LPDDR5 on-board RAM (6400 MT/s, up from 5500 MT/s of the original model) and fixed 1.6GHz GPU frequency (the original model is variable from 1.0 to 1.6GHz) enabled by the 6nm Sephiroth APU. However, this revision still comes up short in terms of performance compared to the latest PC handhelds, such as the Asus ROG Ally and […]
