Yes, IT skills. Electronics skills. And old school knowledge of how to inject image files with malicious code (NetSec/ITSec). This is an older style of "hacking". Remember those warnings about clicking download attachments from the 90s onward? Same thing still applies. Except, there is no detection for any hlds/go server, so an injected image can contaminate a server cache. Which in turn will infect clients. Any image file, any data file really, can be modified like this. Willing to bet good money those $500. go weapon skins have hack code scripted and injected into the image.
