The hacker, going by the name of MaddoxX, gave an IRC interview to The Free Nation Foundation website, voicing some of his demands. What he claims is that Valve is deliberately attempting to mislead customers that nothing happened in order to avoid the chaos the news would bring about. According to MaddoxX, Valve is also deleting all forum threads mentioning the hack.
The full interview follows:
<^QuickSilver> Hi, MaddoxX, can I get an interview? sure <^QuickSilver> Thanks, so, a huge fuss is being kicked up about the recent ‘hacking’ of Valve, why did you do it? I always tried to get into their systems to steal stuff from them.. just to prove their security sucks As you can see they can’t even protect their games from piracy ofcourse no company can do but it is way to easy with VALVe lol makes it fun :) <^QuickSilver> And that’s what it’s all about, eh? most of it <^QuickSilver> Are you actually going to release credit card details? Prolly.. they ignore me. And I don’t like it when I get ignored I gave them several chances <^QuickSilver> True that, and they’ve basically attempted to cover everything up? Why do you think that is? Prevent chaos.. <^QuickSilver> So what do you plan to get out of this? I aint planning shit they can’t do anything anything else? <^QuickSilver> Well, do you want anything from Valve? Just a message on their site that there has been a hack onto their site. Informing the users <^QuickSilver> Okay, I think that’s it <^QuickSilver> Thanks for your time. np
