The ET community is not especially large. Yesterday, on Friday, sudden attention
came to it as the admin of crossfire got access to the admin panel to the
netcoders board, a group of cheat vendors/creators, thus publishing
names/emails of all customers [...] The security exploit made it possible to fusen,
to download the raw database of the netcoders page.
When the exploit was made public, several users were looking for names,
started comparing email and IPs to identify suspected players. A clan base
admin was identified who bought a COD2 wallhack.
From now on the story became big. Using some script to compare IP/email
addresses, many more players could be identified using not only hacking ET,
but also Quake and Cod2. A full list of all cheaters has been published.
netcoders didn't know how to handle the situation
Their website was taken offline immediately, and been replaced by some
announcement. In wild-west style, a reward was set on any information that
would lead to the identity of fusen. Furthermore netCoders announced to
tolerate hacking in clan wars and therefore release free undetected hacks for
that purpose. How these public cheats should stay undetected for a long time,
was not explained. Angry members of nc signed up to crossfire and started to
insult fusen. A trial on fusen has been proclaimed. However, if a group of
people, that are not a corporate and gain profit by hacking/modifying software
are really going for it, that's a different story.
Fact is, that it's been a major setback versus the commercial cheat community.
Plenty of cheaters have been detected and banned. Alot more are to be found.
Let's hope that this wasn't just the drop of water on the hot stone, and we
wish everybody a fair and hornest game play.
it says like "there are already many cheaters banned" lol "okay"
