I think with that link you have to be a member of the boards.

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=18140

Look at the *Update on how it may be fake.

That link works for me now (I'm not a member), the servers were overloaded or something.

CS Nation says the post is a fake:

According to the site linked to at the Inquirer (the update one) the raw php files were able to be downloaded, and so that led to the account being hacked, I have to say that is probably the best explaination if the account was hacked (unlike someone waiting week/months to decrypt a password.)

It's fake, I took the screenshot from this thread:

Someone guessed Gabe's password.

Hehe, hackers or super-easy-to-guess passwords?

It's Gabe's fault.

Now they will be able to further delay HL2 because of the "Hackers". Nice password, when will people learn?

Another reason for it to be delayed again... After all the crap that has gone on with this game, I don't even want it.

I'm getting real tired of it too. I've pretty much been ignoring it for the most part.

Until I actually seen mention of any game going gold through official channels, I don't believe it.
