HALO Reach leaked by hackers.

Halo Reach Leaked To BitTorrent A Month Before Release Date

The latest installment of the highly anticipated Halo series, named Halo: Reach has found it's way to BitTorrent sites and other file sharing networks an entire month ahead of it's release by Microsoft.

The crafty work of some Halo addicts meant that they were able to download a full copy of the game from Microsoft's servers, patch it up in an ISO and share it with the masses on P2P networks. The vulnerability is due to a change in how Microsoft distribute games to reviewers. Games On Demand is a service that allows selected reviewers to download a games directly from Microsoft's servers, thus eliminating the need for hard copies to be sent via snail mail.

Microsoft has said they are "aggressively investigating" the leak.

The official release date & legal release is September 14
