Title: City of Heroes/Villains Game Servers Hacked Post by: atricks on December 20, 2005, 07:39:33 PM I was playing the game tongiht and got an odd message just before the servers went down, with a message You have been hacked. city.xpt.net
Has a game of this scale ever been compromised like this? The link points to a free forum website which is now down or stressed... but managed to get out of this before it down. It looks like a honest to goodness server hack. Edit: It happened again, got a screencap this time.

Edit: Just found this on the official boards (http://boards.cityofvillains.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=4361331&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#4361331) Edit^2: Another thread started by one of the Rednames, with a little bit of info on page 1 and 2 (http://boards.cityofvillains.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=4361067&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1) Title: Re: City of Heroes/Villains Game Servers Hacked Post by: schild on December 20, 2005, 11:57:46 PM Red bleeds in low quality jpgs. Especially bold red. Sharp red lines are one of the single best reasons to game in hi-def on the 360. Neon lights in the Tokyo stuff on PGR and PDZ actually look right.

Ah, you learn something every day on this boards.But why in the name of your favourite deity are you awake ? Shouldn't it be something around 3:00 am over there ?

It's a long night, lots of stuff to do. I'll probably be up til 2pm or so (as in 13 hours from now).

Title: Re: City of Heroes/Villains Game Servers Hacked Post by: schild on December 21, 2005, 12:22:33 AM F13.net is a labor of something. Definately not a labor of cash flow.

Well, there was the time someone got hold of a daoc admin account and decided it would be funny to spawn Legion and hib_dragon in emain. (actually that *was* funny, arguably one of the better events ever staged in daoc in fact) Title: Re: City of Heroes/Villains Game Servers Hacked Post by: Der Helm on December 21, 2005, 04:44:19 AM (... arguably one of the better events ever staged in daoc in fact) There were events in DaoC ?Title: Re: City of Heroes/Villains Game Servers Hacked Post by: schild on December 21, 2005, 04:56:25 AM (... arguably one of the better events ever staged in daoc in fact) There were events in DaoC ?This one time, as a party trick, Mark Jacobs met and proceeded to eat every single attendee at one of those fanfaire type events. Goddamn was it a site to behold. He picked his teeth with a freshly sharped femur removed from a 13 year old catholic schoolgirl. It was, by far, the best event outsi.... Ohhhhhh IN DAoC. I don't remember any.

Get some sleep, you are scaring the children Title: Re: City of Heroes/Villains Game Servers Hacked Post by: Llava on December 21, 2005, 10:14:29 AM Word is that he was only able to hijack the Admin channel and the server on/off switch, along with some other minor things.
Still the biggest hack I've seen in a MMOG, to be sure. Glad I decided to watch the Nip // Tuck season finale last night with my girlfriend instead of playing CoV. |
