The accusations came following k0nfig\u2019s FACEIT account being hacked on May 15, with the hacker themselves posting messages on Discord about the Danish star\u2019s previous allegations of a VAC banned account. Dust2 reported on these allegations in 2017, in which it is stated \u201cone of the Danish players at one of the top 5 Danish teams [\u2026] some information has emerged about a VAC ban within the last 2 years. It\u2019s pretty serious.\u201d The Danish player in question turned out to be k0nfig, and it was claimed that an account of his was VAC banned in 2014, and that Valve knew: \u201cThere is something about an account that belongs to k0nfig, which has the ban [\u2026] this is only a rumor so far, it is reported that Valve is aware of it, but has chosen to ignore it.\u201d On May 15, 2019, the hacker who gained access to k0nfig\u2019s FACEIT account claims that they used the same email and password to login into the VAC banned account in question, which previously used names such as \u201ckR1ST1AN\u201d and \u201ck0nfig\u201d. The post, which was made on subreddit r\/VACSucks, also includes a video of the hacker using k0nfig\u2019s passwords to log in, as further evidence.
