The computers infected with Belonard were all added to a botnet-like structure. When CS1.6 gamers connected to these proxy servers, they'd be redirected to malicious ones that used one of four RCEs (two in the official CS1.6 game and two in a pirated version) to execute code and plant the Belonard malware on their PCs. The entire operation relied on proxy multiplayer servers that enticed users to connect to them because of low ping values. The network has been shut down, researchers from Russian antivirus firm Dr.Web said in a report published on Monday. Security researchers have discovered a network of malicious Counter-Strike 1.6 multiplayer servers that exploited remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities in users' gaming clients to infect them with a new malware strain named Belonard.
