AT CS:GO a huge amount of money revolves around skins, stickers, agents and other game items. Rare decals adorning your weapons can easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of crowns.. The difference from other competitive games is that you can trade individual items on the Steam service and they can also be shared with other users. This allows entrepreneurs to launch special online stores or gaming sites where skins can be obtained.
A very popular site for exchanging or buying skins was i CS.MONEY. His collection included items worth about $16.5 million, less than 400 million crowns. But now the operators they lost goods worth an incredible $6 million..

It’s all because of a hacker attack, due to which the site was also unavailable for several days. Attackers managed to get more than 20,000 items. But they were somewhat unlucky, CS.MONEY operators agreed with other platforms to identify stolen items and block all attempts to exchange or sell them.
How did this accident really happen? Hackers somehow they got access to mobile authenticator files (MA) is used for authorization in Steam. Thanks to they took control of over 100 bot-controlled accountswhere the valuables were. At first they transferred them to their accounts, but then they started with random transactions, so the skins reached ordinary users. Perhaps this was an attempt to cover their tracks and thereby confuse the CS.MONEY operator.
“The CS.MONEY team is working on recovering our password and MA files to invalidate compromised credentials. At the same time, we do our best to protect all data that is critical to our services. This hack is a very good, though expensive lesson for us. But as they say, what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.” said Timofey Sobolevsky, head of the company’s public relations department.
