A Pirate Bay user under the handle "Zakiderex" recently uploaded a stolen copy of the full EVE Online source code to the popular peer-to-peer file sharing site.

Additionally, the user posted an IM conversation between the supposed code thief and a representative from EVE Online developer CCP, in which he taunts the company with his acquisition and derides the firm's security measures.

CCP has responded to the code leak, and reassures EVE players that the leak is not indicative of the sort of security issues that would lead to stolen credit card numbers of other personal info.

"Access to the source code for the EVE client exposes no security vulnerabilities, has no privacy protection issues, and poses no threat to our customers' billing information," said CCP.
