Valve: fixed a bug exploit that allowed you to add infinite money to your Steam wallet – GAMERGEN.COM

Hacker is a site that connects companies, like here Valve, with individuals whose somewhat original hobby is hacking into sites, applications and software. These people can thus submit the results of their hacks to companies privately via the platform and, in exchange, these companies pay these “cyber-heroes” to thank them. This system aims to identify and neutralize “bug exploits” before they can be discovered and shared with the general public.

So on August 9, user Brbrix contacted Valve via Hacker for warn of an exploit that allowed transactions to be intercepted Smart2Pay by changing his email address. The full manipulation is available on the post of Drbrix which was made public a day after its discovery. He added :

I think the impact of this bug exploit is pretty obvious, the hacker can generate endless money and smash the Steam market, sell cheap game keys, etc.

Valve hastened to fix the bug and thanked his savior by offering him $ 7,500. An amount that seems ridiculous when we imagine how much it could have cost if the bug had been found before and made public, or when we compare this sum to the $ 100,000 offered by Riot Games to anyone who finds “bugs exploits” at the exit of Valuing.

To date we do not know if anyone could have used this technique before the discovery of Drbrix.
