    It is a CS2 mod – CS2 lacks Steam Workshop support. Paradox did not put it in, in favor of their own mod platform.

    There was a lot of beef about the lack of workshop support, but it means it was on Paradox’s platform, if anything.

      Wonder if steam workshop scans for this kind of thing, or if it would have otherwise been found quicker.

        This mod had some clever tricks to avoid detection from Antivir scanner. Not sure how deep and complex the Steam Workshop antivir scanner goes (if any). Hard to say if they would have found and prevented it. However, all antivir and other scanner software learned from this and now every malware using this technique could be detected instantly. At least in theory.
