AMD has just made a pretty huge mistake while trying to promote its Radeon graphics cards by offering a free copy of Dirt 3 on the PC, as an SQL database that was hosted on its public servers without any sort of access restrictions was quickly found and leaked on the web by a few clever users, essentially resulting in around 1.7 million Dirt 3 Steam codes being out in the wild.

Very true.
If anyone already activated dirt3 using leaked key, contact steam support asap before they ban you.

Uh oh... big mistake!

^^ By you (did you use any of those codes?) or my AMD??

P.S. one of my friend already activated his dirt3 with steam..

Hopefully nothing happens to his steam account.

If his Serial is listed in that list, be assured he will run out of luck soon

10 munites ago, he called me saying that he got a email from steam, which deactivated the key he used while regitering dirt3 & thanked him for reporting. So no harm done. I think honest users, who have already reported will not face any problem.
