It sounds like the person who posted this believes you can run code on people’s machines simply by having their IP address rather than there actually being any kind of exploitable code-running capability. Leaking your IP isn’t really a big deal, as you’re constantly leaking your IP any time you connect to anything anyways, and if CS:2 uses any kind of peer-to-peer to lower latency or make the game more responsive, you could have grabbed those ips with a simple netstat (for windows users) command anyhow.
Right, the worst that can happen is a DDoS, you can take down a residential connection really easily. Those little consumer grade routers cannot handle much lmao
And since most residential IPs are short-lived DHCP leases, instead of permanent IPs, a simple router reset will usually get you a new IP and you’re good at that point.
