Half-Life2 Theft Arrests  by James W at 21:20

News is spreading that several arrests have been made relating to the HL2 source theft.
"Within a few days of the announcement of the break-in, the online gaming community had tracked down those involved," said Gabe Newell, Valve's CEO. "It was extraordinary to watch how quickly and how cleverly gamers were able to unravel what are traditionally unsolvable problems for law enforcement related to this kind of cyber-crime."
