According to a report from Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad, authorities have arrested the 20-year old man responsible for hacking into Valve’s Cyber Cafe service.

Known in the underground community under his online pseudonym of “MaddoxX,” the nefarious hacker ran an anti-Valve forum known as No-Steam, as well as the piracy group “EMPORiO,” which specialized in releasing cracked copies of Valve’s Steam titles, including Counter-Strike and Half-Life 2.

MaddoxX made headlines back in April of 2007 when he posted a threat letter to Valve on his No-Steam website, publicly revealing sensitive data on a number of subscribers to Valve’s Cyber Cafe service in the process.

Not only is he being charged for hacking into Valve’s servers, but also for downloading an in-development version of Activision’s Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, as well as stealing credit card data on 50,000 customers from an English tickets site. To put it simply: he’s screwed.
