'Counter-Strike: Global Offensive' Hackers Invade Players' Lobbies Spamming It With Aggressive Text [VIDEO]; Is 'CS: Go' Really Hacker Infested?
Vinay PatelEarlier this week, game lobbies of "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" (CS: GO) players were attacked and encroached by chat bots that were simply unkickable. A newly discovered exploit is said to have opened the door for this invasion.
The rather threatening wall of text alluded to Valve allegedly turning a blind eye to cheaters in their first-person shooter video game, according to screenshots from "CS: GO" players. The text further blamed the game developer of being more interested in getting money from players than taking care of the security issues, which makes the game simply unplayable in its current state.
It didn't take too long to for the company to address the concerns of "CS: GO" players as a Valve staff member confirmed on the complaint thread that the exploit had been toned down using a "temporary solution," as they continue working on a more permanent fix that will roll out within a week or so.
The spammers that claimed they are actually customers that don't mind paying for a hackers and bugs-free game adapted a strategy that makes use of an in-game vulnerability enabling them to spam numerous game lobbies, including private lobbies -- with this text for hours, repeatedly, according to the Reddit thread where this issue was first reported. In other words, they hacked the game just to show that hacking "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" is child's play.
Aside from that, the spammer behind this lobby hack has posted a slew of videos giving a brief glimpse of other exploits at work, which usually resort to using a combo of bots and JavaScript to either creep in "CS: GO" lobbies or simply to change a player's rank bracket to display "Global Elite" status, which is the topmost and hardest-to-do status in the game.
But the hackers didn't stop there, going as far as publishing their script for lobby hacking. This enabled anyone inclined, to copy their attack until Valve came out with the hotfix.
