CS:GO hackers steal $1.6 million worth of skins from popular trading site $1.6M worth of in-game CS:GO cosmetics have been stolen by hackers from popular skin trading site CSMoney. Counter-Strike is well-known for not only for being a competitive FPS, but also for its cosmetic marketplace, where players can buy, sell and trade skins that are sometimes worth more than a house. Some skins have been valued at outrageous amounts. One of the most sought out being the Dragon Lore AWP, which typically sells for anywhere between $10k-20k. Another example is the pattern 387 factory new Case Hardened Karambit knife. Although it hasn\u2019t been sold, experts value the knife at over $1.5 million, and the owner turned down an offer of \u20ac1.2m. Sadly, the trading community has now taken a big hit. According to skin enthusiast Arrow in a tweet on August 13, over $1.6M worth of skins were stolen from CSmoney \u2013 the game\u2019s most popular skin trading website. Thousands of high-tier skins and knives were stolen, with some being sent to popular Counter-Strike content creators Steam inventories according to Arrow. \u201cWell over $1,600,000 was just STOLEN from CSmoney,\u201d he wrote on Twitter. \u201cWe have found 30+ accounts that are linked to the hackers (there are more we haven\u2019t found) \u2013 I suspect that that the hackers sent skins to high tier traders as a distraction.\u201d \u201cThis is the largest website hack we\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d Arrow added.

Currently, the website is still down, and its unclear if Valve will assist in returning the skins to the site, or if the accounts will be banned. Given that Valve\u2019s relationship with third-party sites isn\u2019t the greatest, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess what\u2019ll happen going forward. But, hopefully we\u2019ll see the skins returned to its owners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
