A few hours ago, CSGO Source Code was leaked on the internet. Fans are worried that it may affect their systems. SteamDB was first to report this news on Twitter. It may be the end for CSGO. It is advised not to play CSGO online for a while until Valve sorts this all out.
Team Fortress 2’s, along with some other Valve games’, source code got leaked. For now, it is recommended to avoid playing both CS:GO and TF2 until further notice from either us, Valve or any other trusted source.

According to Forbes
The damage appears to be severe, and early info seems to indicate that even something as simple as logging into TF2 or CSGO and being on the same server as a hacker can dangerously expose your account and even computer.

Can the CSGO Source Code leak affect my PC?
While in skinport, there is a pretty low chance that it will affect your PC. However, it can affect your steam account and in-game account. There is no report of any malicious activity after this leak. Since this leak gave access to pretty much everything on CSGO. They can change your account credentials, steal your inventory, or ban you. There are also rumors that they can perform remote code execution, a method to make someone else’s system to execute codes remotely.
Valve has yet to comment on all this. We hope that they figure it all out soon. It is a big loss for Valve.
