Over $2 million in CSGO skins stolen from hacked Steam account ValveOne of the most valuable Steam inventories of all time has reportedly been hacked, with over $2 million in ultra-rare CSGO skins being stolen or transferred. Players, and even those that have never played Counter-Strike in their lives alike know CSGO skins are worth some serious money. With these in-game items literally being worth tens of thousands of dollars in some cases, they are without a doubt the most valuable video game skins ever. However, with such value on the line, there are plenty of people out there looking to make a quick buck. Now, it\u2019s been reported that one of the most valuable Steam inventories ever has been hacked, with over $2 million in skins being sold or transferred already. $2,000,000+ in CS:GO skins have been hacked and stolen (some items getting moved\/sold as we speak) this is the most expensive inventory all-time, containing the most legendary items in CS:GO history (7x souvenir dragon lores, no-star karambit, #1 blue gems) @CSGO @Steam pic.twitter.com\/d80miZorNh \u2014 ohnePixel (@ohnePixel) June 21, 2022 $2 million in CSGO skins stolen from Steam On June 21 CSGO skin expert ohnePixel tweeted about the heist of notorious skin collector HFB, listing such ultra-rare items as Souvenir Dragon Lore AWP skins along with no-star and #1 Blue Gem Karambit skins as well. For some reference, the #1 Blue Gem Karambit is estimated to cost more than \u20ac1.2 million (or $1.26 million), and is considered one of the holy of holies when it comes to CSGO skins. \u201cThis is the most expensive inventory all-time, containing the most legendary items in CS:GO history,\u201d ohnePixel explained. \u201chalf(?) of the items got quicksold and are gone, other half(?) sent to the hacker\u2019s steam account and are sitting on a trade hold.\u201d How the hacker got access to the account\u2019s items was subject to much debate, as Steam has a 7 day market cooldown when users login from a new device or change their password. This. If somebody knows your steam username, there is a way in which they can send money to your account, open a steam support ticket, and claim that is their account. Support will give them access, as it seems that making a small random payment to your account is enough proof. \u2014 quY (@quyy112) June 21, 2022 Shortly after Pixel\u2019s initial tweet, a Twitter user named @quyy112 explained how the hackers most likely gained access without having to go through the waiting period. \u201cIf somebody knows your steam username, there is a way in which they can send money to your account, open a steam support ticket, and claim that is their account,\u201d they explained. \u201cSupport will give them access, as it seems that making a small random payment to your account is enough proof.\u201d Later on, another CSGO skin expert named zipeL provided more info, explaining HFB hadn\u2019t logged into the account in three years, and that he had a mobile authenticator active, but his email and password were changed. Furthermore, it seems that the items which were sold from HFB\u2019s accounts were disappearing from their new owners, which zipeL suggested could be the result of a Steam error. This seemed to be confirmed when the trades seemed to be getting reverted. According to zipeL\u2019s thread everyone who acquired one of HFB\u2019s skins had them taken away, except one user who moved a Dragon Lore to a storage unit. While we don\u2019t know what caused the hack exactly, zipeL added \u201cit could be a sign of a major internal fuckup within steam that led to the hack being a possibility.\u201d 5\/? HOLY SHIT, they actually are reverting the trades. I wonder what will happen to the people that purchased the things. Just a big L? We have never seen this before. “”Csgo support undid one or more of your actions”” pic.twitter.com\/oi2bIC0xrc \u2014 zipeL\ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddf0 (@zipelCS) June 21, 2022 This could lead to Valve taking a serious look at how they handle account security, if they haven\u2019t already. Hopefully HFB is able to recoup their losses, or at least get the half that are still waiting to be traded back. We\u2019ll update this story if and when we receive more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
