Atari EU Forums Hacked - 12 Jan 2010

[Ryzza5]

Ok so it's not these forums that I'm having issues with, but I'm sure Diablo or someone can notify the admins if they don't already know what's going on.

 

Spose I'll have to pick a winner for the caption game later on. :ill:

 

I'm assuming I'll have to change my password once it's back up and running?

 

I wonder what Atari could've possible done to annoy these people? :oook:

[EW]

Epic!

Nice to see larger sites having real issues!

Well with any luck they scrap there website and ask us for help xD

[Mb]

LMAO. They got pwnd. :D

[Rebuilda]

my rant seems to have dissapeared... sorry Admins, I was in the middle of something when it happened and i was a bit peeved.

won't happen again.:o

From the looks of it, it's not a malicious hack. It seems to be someone that finds security floors in servers and replaces pages with a message like above to alert the server admins to the floors.

 

I've seen other sites he's done and if he wanted to, he could of caused damage or stolen information etc. but didn't.

[Ryzza5]

BTW, did I miss an annoucement regarding the disappearance of the chat box on the main page? Or is that just Diablo being Diablo again? :)

[Camel]

It's been removed from the front page but it still resides where it was original placed.

That talk about changing the Single Sign On might gather more pace now for NBP and give Atari a well deserved kick up the arse also to get their community sorted also.

 

I'd watch your passwords if it's the same for other places that you use, as you don't know what info this person got access to though truth be told I would seriously doubt anything like that would have been found, except for perhaps a few password hashes.

lol. What more can be said.

Don't you just love the punctuation and grammar skills of the dude. Too bad for Atari though. Hope no passwords or anything were stolen.

[Ryzza5]

My email password is unique compared to passwords I use on the net, so not much to worry about there. I'll likely change it afterwards, though.

 

The guy has a German email address posted there, and I haven't seen any sour threads on the English forums there. You'd think someone who goes to all the trouble of hacking servers would have a more appealing webpage design. :p

[iLLGT3]

God that sucks but I'm glad to see they got it fixed. :D

[The Queen]

I just lolled at the fact this guy seems to think he's so hard and that he's able to hack webpages but not spell correctly. :lol: :rolleyes:

 

I do hope that no passwords or anything were stolen though, for the community's sake.

I thought he was just trying to speak l33t, then I saw people commenting on in a took a closer look at the picture :fp: And facepalm at Atari for having an official website with such bad security measures that he managed to hack it. :confused:

 

I think I'll change my password though, just in case.

[Ryzza5]

Not a word or email of acknowledgment from Atari yet.

 

Tsk, tsk. :(

[BioHazard7911]

W-O-W.

 

I really do not know what to say xD

[Immelmann]

LOL xD

 

Atari fail.
