Valve Hax?

[Krynn72]

My firewall just blocked a "MMSQL_Null_Packet_DoS" intrusion that it says to be from valve software. I used the tracker and it gave me the address and stuff. Is their HQ in Bellvue WA?

I posted the address in google and it seems like another person from a Dutch board got the same thing. What do you think of this?

Maybe somebody at Valve was downloading something less than safe.

Or, someone could be spoofing their IP.. or somehow routing themselves through a VALVe server.. or maybe Gabe is interested in hacking you!

If its gabe he can hack me all he wants, so long as he bribes me to keep quite with a free HL2

EDIT: BTW, what does Null Packet mean anyways?

If you are running Steam, it was probably something that it sent, and your firewall over-reacted.
