Looks like the Source engine's source code has been leaked again, but this time the code is quite old (Source 2007, last modified in 2008). It was apparently leaked on a Russian forum by someone who stole it from the person who stole it originally.
The leak also contains source code for Counter-Strike Source, Day of Defeat Source, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 among other things.

Facts are a little sparse at the moment, but it has been suggested the code came from an engine licensee and not Valve.

Also, according to <a href="http://www.valvetime.net/threads/source-engine-code-leak-version-2007.223834/" target="_blank">Valve Time</a> the ep3 file only contains a file for the npc_surface AI (monster from the Source particle benchmark).

    I wonder if they hide some sort of ID in the sourcecode that would enable them to figure out which licensee leaked it (intentionally or not).

    I was wondering that, but I doubt it because it would be easy to remove if it was just in the code.

    That ep3 directory is in SDK since 5 years ago or more.

    No I believe it's different, but the ep3 folder which was in the Source SDK a few years ago (and isn't any more) is apparently in this leak.
