Video Game Cheaters Outed By Logic Bombs

Lirodon writes: A Reddit user decided to tackle the issue of cheaters within Valve's multiplayer shooter Counter Strike: Global Offensive in their own unique way: by luring them towards fake "multihacks" that promised a motherlode of cheating tools, but in reality, were actually traps designed to cause the users who installed them to eventually receive bans. The first two were designed as time bombs, which activated functions designed to trigger bans after a specific time of day. The third, which was downloaded over 3,500 times, caused instantaneous bans.

I hope we can get Sean Connery to play the lead role again...

I don't think "logic bomb" means what the submitter thinks it means (the stories don't use that term). These were trojans.
