Hackers have hit Nexon and others
« on: April 16, 2013, 04:30:11 AM »
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/11/cybersecurity-videogames-idUSL2N0CY1ET20130411?symbol=036570.KS

This was linked from the NCSoft stock report, oddly enough.  Gist of the article is that some hackers hit Nexon and a few other companies.

And in other news, NCSoft's stock continues to skid and slip-slide down.

And, err, this is very likely in the wrong part of the forums.  My mistake.  :(  I'm tired.  This has nothing to do with saving Paragon City.

If NCSoft was one of the victims, they may have the COH code. Don't trust any unknown sites for COH.

No surprise but the attacks on NCSOFT was targeting Aion, again.

Here's the Kaspersky Labs' report on the attacks.

The last few pages list the URLs they were targeting.

THIS IS THE LAST, BEST, FINAL PROGRAM BY AARON WALKER HIMSELF.
EVEN IF PRAETOR BERRY KILLED HIM, HE'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO BE BETTER THAN WALKER.
REMEMBER TO TELL THE WORLD. BERRY IS A LOSER. AARON WALKER WAS THE MAN.
