2nd time someone hacked my computer from cs go competitive

[sL!cK]

It is the second time it s happened . First time i was in competitive game ,some guy was hacking ,i reported him,he started to talk to me ,to tell me i am wrong ,and seconds later my game started to lag very very badly, i had to restart my computer ,i couldnt start the cs go game to connect again,i had to reinstall the whole game . After that i install kasperky on the computer .
Second time ,was the same ,the only difference was that the game was ok,i could start again with no trouble . I am sure in both cases they hacked my computer ...
Did enyone else from here encounter this situation ? what are the solutions ?

Why don't you just stop playing the game if the only thing you do is complaining about it?

Do you have any reason to think your computer was hacked?

Sounds like a DDoS attack, which is when someone overwhelms the server so it crashes. That's not "hacking."

Well it is a pretty broad colloqialism, and I'm sure you get ten people with strong opinions about what officially constitutes hacking and what doesn't, and they'll all have some differing opinions about it.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hack the most appropriate definition casts a pretty wide net and it doesn't speak to specifics or technical expertise required. Regardless of how a person gains unauthorized access to an account it could be called hacking. Sure you can split hairs and argue that most users get phished. But what is phishing, but a hacking technique?

I'm not sure what people get out of wasting everyone's time trying to quibble what "hack" really means. It's a commonly used colloqialism, people were whining incessantly about its "misuse" over twenty years ago, and that didn't solve it, and the genie isn't going back in the bottle now. Kinda seems like it's already been settled and resisting the natural evolution of language is as pointless as resisting the tides.

Now, please enjoy yourselves while you tear me to shreds for suggesting there's any pedantry afoot over terminology.

No one accessed his account so even including those is wrong.

Well that's the dictionary definition, I did talk a lot about colloquialisms, or is that not convenient to address?

I mean we refer to a lot of cheating in multiplayer games as hacking, and that doesn't involve gaining unauthorized access to accounts or systems either.

It's kinda hard to go "hurr durr, most people don't know what it means" when it's been a catch-all term for everything for decades and there's really no expectation that it's anything else in most contexts.

Your computer wasn't "hacked". That's an overused word people use to describe anything they can't explain. It sounds to me like the server is being overloaded, your computer is being overloaded, or your computer is simply too weak to handle CS:GO.

ok . not hacked . then what word to use whe someone makes your computer run bad ? I want to know how did this happened and what to do to prevent this in the future !! how can some player to that to my computer ? From cs go ? The computer runs ok,i verify ! I have a good config to run smooth the game ,that is not the problem . I am telling you that he did something to my computer ,during the game ,while i was connected to the server and playing,and the game stopped worked .

Your question was already answered by muckymucks!

by the way why do you even say someone you reported him for cheating?
That's the only way he knew you reported him

all the other players stayed in the game . i was the only one who had to abandon because the game was too laggy for playing . nobody else complained . why was the only one with trouble ?
and how can be possible for that someone to do something like this ? i thought cs go is a safe game . so you telling that at any moment someone can distroy your sesion ?

i got a cool-down for abandonning the game for that ...

What if that someone decide to overwhelm the server several times ,and me and some other players in the same situation get cool-down several times ,and ends up beeing cool down longer ? and they are not guilty for nothing ...just saying .,,

A game being laggy is not related to your computer being hacked. If your computer was hacked, you would not be able to use it or get a message from the hacker asking for money.

Do you have ANY reason to think that he hacked your computer?

Why do you keep looking for someone else to blame for your faulty hardware?

When servers are crashed nobody gets a cooldown.
