The reason the source got leaked was because of Microsoft and their hundreds of thousands of security holes in Outlook (Express). The hacker(s) exploited it easily because MS doesn't understand the meaning of security.
But part of the blame can be put on a Valve employee for opening the thing that allowed the hacker(s) access to Valve's network. So any firewall Valve has wouldn't stop the hackers because they would be able to grant themselves full access to Valve's network by telling the firewall they have that kind of access.
