Portal “Gaben's Hole” along with the information about Immortal Draft matches also made publicly available team workouts and Dota 2 pro-players' TQs.
This was confirmed by the creator of the portal himself in an interview with the Taverna.gg website.
“I actually wasn't sure if I was going to get data specifically about the Kavs. As, in fact, the site shows - there is no distinction between tournaments, prakas and regular Captain's Mode. It was only from your news that I got the first confirmation). That's partly why I left it up. The second reason is to draw attention to the problem. I'm sure a couple of enthusiasts like me have been capitalizing on the vulnerability for years, which could have a big impact on the pro scene”
The hacker noted that he purposely opened access to even the private information of cyber athletes. According to him, he wanted to draw attention to the problem, because other hackers could have had access to this information for a long time and profited from it.
Probably, in this way the hacker wants Valve to pay attention to the vulnerability and block the loophole, so that the private information of players was safe.
Recall that earlier the hacker hacked Dota 2 and reopened the statistics of pro-players to all comers.
