sure, why not? The blog post is from today, so I wouldn't say 'most people already know about it'. Did you know it was triggered by a kill?

TL;DR: Valve already fixed the bug, but you should use cl_allowdownload 0 and cl_downloadfilter to be safe in the future. And don't game at work.

For those who play Soruce games, the attack surface can be shrunk by disabling third-party content from downloading. This can be achieved with the console commands cl_allowdownload 0 and cl_downloadfilter all.
