2500 keys have leaked on a russian forum. There is a chance your Steam account will be suspended for using one of those codes, so you should probably NOT enter DiRT 3 giveaways.

Edit: Maybe they'll just remove the game from your account. Is it worth risking? You decide.

According to Steam's policy:

"There is a Zero-Tolerance policy for any violations of the Steam Subscriber Agreement and Online Code of Conduct. All accounts in a user's possession for any of the following activities will be suspended: Piracy or Hacking

This includes using an unauthorized ("hacked") Steam client to access Steam, attempting to register fake CD Keys or attempting to register a CD Key which has been published on the internet."

I don't think that someone will be banned after this leak - especially if part of this keys was used legally in amd promo.

There's a high chance that activated games will be removed from accounts (this is promo action, not charity :D). I sure that AMD couldn't allow this - this is EXTREMELY STUPID - to access databases with keys, you should type /sql/ to the dirt promo url (proof: http://i.imgur.com/sc7Ry.jpg ). If this was allowed accidently, AMD must fire their informantion security specialists (without giving them a chance to find a job better than nightman in future) instead of banning someone in steam. Sorry for my english (

Looks like its basically all in valves hands. They can't just ban everyone so your account is safe. Alot of the keys comprimised were actually given away by AMD. Heres a legit source article from Tom's Hardware
