Basically, due to a fault in the source engine code, at any point, you can get your steam account hijacked, vac banned, and lose your steam inventory, due to playing any source game.
For me, GMOD immediately comes to mind, especially GMT.
I am wondering if it’s safe to go on GMT or any gmod server thanks to this outbreak.
I also wonder if @Matt should disable sprays or something.
I really do hope this gets fixed soon, since I gmod and GMT.
Best regards, Tanooki Jon
No, as this exploit is abused by server operators; clients cannot upload malicious files to the server. It says in the video to only trust servers you know are reputable-- I’d hope you’d be able to trust that we wouldn’t do that.
Bearing in mind that, at most, if they have access to your files they can only get past the SteamGuard original code verification. If you have 2-step Mobile Auth you’ll be safe regardless.
Unless you like to let others touch your phone extensively.
