+ | 12 november 2018 | ||
+ | A man has been given $20 אלף (£15,500) for discovering a bug inside the steam computer games store that let people download any game gratis. | ||
+ | Security researcher artem moskowsky found a flaw in steam's portal for games developers that let anybody generate licence keys free of all expenses. | ||
+ | Millions of people use steam to purchase and download games on pc and mac computers. | ||
+ | Mr moskowsky told steam owner valve about the bug and it awarded him the money as piece of its bug bounty scheme. | ||

+ | Mr moskowsky told news site the register that he discovered the problem by accident when exploring the steam partner portal. | ||
+ | The portal lets game studios generate licence keys for their software, so they may propose a copy to fans or journalists to review. | ||
+ | But he found that modifying the request let anybody generate thousands of codes for any game they wanted. These could theoretically be sold online on the dark market. | ||
+ | "I managed to bypass the verification of ownership of the game program by changing only one parameter," he told the register. | ||
+ | Valve awarded him $ 15,000 and a $ 5,000 bonus for making the private disclosure. The flaw has since been fixed. | ||
+ | Valve said an investigation of its logs did not show that anybody had exploited the bug. | ||
