I don't think that would've mattered. The source code was probably grabbed from SourceSafe (or equivalent) using someone's network account/password. If the hacker was able to get into SourceSafe, it wouldn't have mattered if the SourceSafe box had direct internet access or not. All he/she needed was to get into Valve's LAN (through VPN or a trojan on anyone's machine), and then access SourceSafe from there. The only way to secure the code would've been to cut the whole Valve LAN off from the internet, which obviously isn't practical. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
