The source of the leak was an unknown user under the pseudonym sonoftrollfacegaming, who shared his findings on the Discord server of researchers of the secrets of the beta version of Portal 2.
The leak is believed to include material outside of Half-Life 2: Episode Three and Portal 2. For example, Gabe Follower showed a model of the original landmark for the cut King Antlion from Half-Life 2.

It’s worth noting that the leaked portion of the Half-Life 2: Episode Three source code is not related to Valve’s current secret project, codenamed hlx, which presumably takes the place of Half-Life 3 in the series’ chronology.
Previously, Valve accidentally leaked 12 TB of data on Steam games from 2003 to 2013 (including early builds of Portal 2, Left 4 Dead, CS:GO), as well as the achievements of dozens of future releases, including unannounced ones.
