continuum under a attack

Quote:<div>
No news so far today... I'll post when I hear something substantive. Folks have mostly been doing a pretty good job of reporting on the situation (DoS attack on SSC servers).


I'm not sure the perpetrator(s) are aware they are committing a felony under US (and other country's) laws with significant mandatory jail time and fines associated with this crime. The host of the game server, which is not a small company, will not look on this attack lightly as they would not wish for any of their business to be affected.


This is a game that people hopefully have fun playing and talking in that is completely player run and funded - a number of us, myself included, pay money every month to keep the lights on.


The rules to be able to keep playing on these private servers are mostly pretty easy going - at least in Chaos you have to ignore copious warnings and break the rule(s) over and over to get banned for any length of time (except for actual hacking which we see maybe once or twice a year [which is technically difficult and never by regular players who, you know, want to keep playing]). Netbans from any zone are very infrequent and exactly two people have been netbanned this year from any zone.


The list of people that would do this is quite small. Does the perpetrator realize their situation? Do they really think the risk is worth it? Does the perpetrator really want a visit from the FBI? I'm not sure they are thinking very clearly about this.

Sure hope we get pew pew spaceships back online but this post is hilarious. What are the damages? Who is footing the bill for this "investigation" into a game reverse engineered (basically stolen) made in 1994.... Pretty sure this is a free game. 

 

I would love to see the Interpol warrant for some kid in Finland or Korea who hacked this game as a joke. I can't wait to see this on CNN on Monday. LOL.

 

Edit: The host of this games server is not a small company? They won't look on this attack lightly? Do they take racial slurs lightly? How does this reflect on said company's image when people who run leagues tell others to go pick cotton? Yes I'm sure this company will be pursuing legal action and damages to its "image" after this event. Give me a fucking break dude.
