Valve Software this week found themselves at the center of an Internet hissy fit after reports emerged claiming that the company was using their Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC) to monitor the browsing activity of the company‘s user base. A Reddit post specifically claimed that Valve‘s VAC was digging through your DNS cache entries and sending the lot of them back to Valve servers hashed with md5. The post quickly escalated, with Reddit users suddenly jumping to the conclusion that Valve was just as bad as EA, and the company was covertly trying to monetize user browsing data using DNS records.
