CounterStrike Hacking Tool Overwrites Cheaters' Hard Drive MBR

....some quotes from this article:

CounterStrike gamers looking for an advantage over their competition might be in for a surprise this Christmas, as there's a booby-trapped cheat tool going around that will overwrite their hard drive MBR (Master Boot Record) and prevent their computers from booting.

This EXE file rewrites the user's hard drive MBR (Master Boot Record) with a custom boot routine that only shows a piece of text, as portrayed below. The text reads:

Multiplayer Game Hacking
As you reboot, you find that something has overwritten your MBR!
It is a sad thing your adventures have ended here.
This is the result of the incompetent file analyzers from MPGH.
If you need cheats, use something else than MPGH.
Greetings from ULLR. <3

The message references MPGH, which stands for "MultiPlayer Game Hacking & Cheats," a well-known forum for downloading gaming cheats.

Is better to use trusted source for trainers to cheat in games. If you search there some.

Cheaters never win! I still feel that is a very cruel method. Hopefully they will learn to not use cheats instead of finding proper cheats
