New information about the progress of the criminal investigation into the theft of source code and resources from developer Valve's network has emerged, including the fact that the "primary" hacker responsible was German.
"He admitted hacking into Valve's server but denied any role in the theft," according to Newell, "instead naming those responsible for distributing the stolen code." After further investigation, Valve then convinced the hacker to fly to Seattle for a job interview, where he would be detained by the FBI - although eventually the plan was changed so that he could simply be arrested by German authorities.
