It only matters because the fact that these skins were being held ransom in an inactive account will drive the market price up for related skins. The exclusivity created by collectors and whales drives the price of all skins up. It just helps line Valve's pockets.

[@shaumredfern8032]

If you read up on valves T.A.C valve basically own the rights to the skins. So that means valve can get away with taking the skins and returning them without having to refund the money they paid from the third party sites. I really hope he gets them all back.

Would love to see your reaction to the inventory when it first went public before we knew he was hacked

[@215IfCa6o9]

My theorie is that the Russian hackers sold the items to people they are connected with to cover up the history of transactions to the public or gamble and hope that the items will get duplicated to gain more profit. There is no way people with that knowledge about the steam marketplace undervalue these items that extremely. It could be possible that it was some kind of act against the collection of skins and they knew they would get deleted. So by selling they would let collectors spend a lot of money and make them lose that money on purpose. plus: I forgot about the community bans. It might be possible that the act went against Valve itself to make the community furious about getting banned and losing their money. This would also support the fact that the hackers unprivated his inventory to let the community see it. It is very possible in my opinion since this is a disaster for the CSGO skin community. This isn't something you will forget about csgo.

Steam must have considered something like this would happen eventually, and they would be prepared, and know how they would deal with it. Based on theit response so far, it seems like they have some plan in place. Maybe I'm being too kind, but this is important for them not just for csgo, but any account with items worth a large sum of money from any game, as it is an example of how they will respond again in the future.

He wasn't hacked, it was steam who made a mistake. Steam gave his account to "the hacker" because "the hacker" posed as the owner of the account and had steam do some type of recovery to change email, authenticator and password. That is also the reason for them undoing the trades. Because steam is the reason he lost his inventory.

[@residentvoid2203]

Its definitely a steam error, most likely valve messed up by not notifying the account holder about his account details changing, HFB probably has contacts at valve or contacted support that helped him flag the items that are used in transactions to be deleted or reverted. All while the hacker in the account is able to have listed these items without any repercussions and buyers lose their money and their skins they paid for. Valve seems to have contained the problem for now by reverting trades done through this account, with no possible way to trade there is no way to obtain any compensation from this point on. But it is unknown in total how many skins have been sold and how much money has been lost.

[@kswag]

This can go one or two ways at this point. Either HFB starts caring about the game more with this scare or he just quits outright and when he gets his skins back he sells it all.

This exact same situation last month happened to my wife. 12k inventory, dormant account for over two years. No emails, any type of notification, email and password change but mobile authentication still on. Steam originally blamed my wife for getting phished, but after some push back they admitted that a steam support responded to a recovery attempt with an email, an adress and her name(all easily googable). And handed over the account to the "hacker". Steam reverted all the trades and trade banned the middlemen in the trades but not the (in my opinion) "hacker" where all the skins led to. They actually did a great job once they admitted it was their wrong doing. However, its been a while and i just noticed they duped two of the items, and other people still have the originals, so we'll be getting back in contact with them regarding that.

[@xmedian003x9]

Did they recover your wife's items or make a copy of them? How things are going with you buddy?

[@yonnj]

@XMedian003X They duped them and then deleted from the inventory that they ended up in. I can still see two of her original skins in other users' inventory, so we are trying steam support again to have the item deleted or have the original item back. I think having two items with the exact same pattern, float, and seed would potentially be worth a few bucks.

If HFB managed to get his skins restored, it could potentially create a loophole for exploitation. Imagine a scenario where someone with a high-value account deliberately uses an alternate account to 'hack' their main account. They could then proceed to sell all the items from their main account on various websites. After making a profit from these sales, they might approach Steam or Valve, requesting the recovery of their skins. Essentially, they would be profiting from selling skins that they later get restored by Valve or Steam.

what probably happened is that the account was socially engineered with steam support, steam support somehow believed that the scammer forgot his password, and when that happens, they remove the steam authenticator, remove the phone number, they change the email and they send the new password in an email to the new email. when this happens, the old authenticator can still 'look like it's activate, but it definitely isn't.

I have some insight of how these type of hacks and login occur and I'm sure it's through his network/phone. In my cybersecurity class, hackers would take two approaches, the social engineering route, or the stolen back-end data encryption route. It would take too many years to run through the encrypted data, so they often try to infect the person's phone or computer in order to retrieve valuable data. The inventory guy probably had his phone breached, which is how they were able to easily transfer items easily, is because his API got stolen and copied to another person's phone. It's very hard to avoid this because phone's firewall don't detect any viruses or trojan, even with the best anti-virus on the phone, it's still possible to get breached.

[@Faolanthian]

more likely it's social engineering through steam support. that's the only scenario in which support would step in.

[@DualityGG]

@@Faolanthian Could be, but because trades went through and to multiple accounts. Steam support will never trade to different accounts, they will only give the item back to the account owner. This isn't the first time it happened by the way. Steam stepped in because the owner is the top account value in skins. With the amount of money circulating as well, over $2m, they had to do something otherwise their CS economy would crash and lead to lawsuits.

This was just all a ploy by steam to get rid of the no star karambit.

[@999mcrlo3]

but what if the "russian marked place" is just the marked from the hackers him self? So they just sell them to 2nd or 3rd accounts?

I personally feel very sad for him, hope he will get his skins back (

[@smitty0]

He got them back from the sounds of it

[@milkkee540]

You are on the finnish Newspaper IltaSanomat, and they call you a CSGO-expert 😂

[@jinx8624]

If It can happen to him it can happen to anyone And unlike real life items if the thief is caught nothing will happen to them

[@Escaleirex]

i bet he installed some extension that got the session token from steam, with that you can login onto the account without any password or 2fa

What's the point of even owning all these crazy skins and beeing the biggest and most saught after collector when you NEVER EVER use the skins in game or if you don't even make ur inventory public so people can atleast inspect and look at them. As a collector myself i hate behaviour like this, it is also why i hate dealing with chinese collectors who are after my skins that some of i have brought back from private and dorment accounts (mostly chinese) that now finally see the light of day and some use ingame again.

[@yam6075]

is there any updates ?
