they finally banned everyone with more than 10 stacks of armbrace???

Witchblade · May 13, 2008, 11:25 PM // 23:25

dont tell me they are fixing something in CTC and letting those accs being stolen

HawkofStorms · May 13, 2008, 11:25 PM // 23:25

Except Regina just said it isn't (or at least, not to that specific thread's hacker). Hmm... curious. What else could it be? Virus attack on a.net itself? Another dupe?

Thizzle · May 13, 2008, 11:28 PM // 23:28

That would be awesome if you could still dupe ambraces.

Blackhearted · May 13, 2008, 11:31 PM // 23:31

If the exploit has been fixed, as the update has claimed, why can't it be said what it pertained to? I mean, if it's as "fixed" as they say then it shouldn't matter too much since it couldn't be done now anyway, right?

SerenitySilverstar · May 13, 2008, 11:31 PM // 23:31

QQing about being banned about to happen annnny second now.

dread pirate fargus · May 13, 2008, 11:34 PM // 23:34

if its something they cannot tell us, there are 3 plausable explanations (unless you can think of another)

1) they only rolled a temporary fix until they can find something more permanent, until then it is still something nasty that has potential to be broken

2) they cant tell us by law e.g. data protection act. if it clearly refers to the people who have posted here about being hacked then they might not be able to tell us? ok that one doesnt seem as likely because they could just not name-names but i cant think of another reason.

3) the nature of the exploit is embarrasing in that it could cause a severe lack of confidence, e.g it had some implications with billing or account information (e.g. anet themselves breaching data protection act by some loophole allowing people to get our information). This is the exact reason banks and financial institutes do not report the vast majority of fraud incidents.

either way i hope it is fixed soon
and i bet $10 a certain p*blo was involved

*throws toys @ mummi*
*runs to bathroom*

must have been a serious bug, they patched and made it live as fast as they could instead of the usual thursday update schedule.

might still be a problem if they didnt tell us what it was

I think explanation one is plausible, but there is another possibility. Details of the exploit are never explained and that is understandable, but the exploit is always described in some way (Malyx, zoning, disconnect, etc.). If they are not even mentioning what was the nature of the exploit, it might be something embarrassing that they do not want to disclose. :P

Hollow Gein · May 13, 2008, 11:53 PM // 23:53

Quick, call Detective Monk!! LoL. Well, I guess later this evening or tomorrow we'll find out.

you are right, added that to my post. and elaborated on it a little, thanks

God, could they say this any more vaguely?
"We did something that may have some possible importance to you maybe, this had to do with some stuff with some people. More details some time later."

Stop flaming regina, she just does her job.

Messy · May 14, 2008, 12:11 AM // 00:11

It's quite obvious!! The 117 bribed Devona and Aidan with stacks of armbraces in exchange for access to the game, via a back door @ grand central transfer chamber. There was a secret room there where they duped phantasmal tonics!! Devona and Aidan have been perma banned. Cynn is on probation.

/agreed
If someone above her told her she can't tell, than she cant tell. She is new at A.Net and does not want to risk her job. It's completely understandable.

how anti-climatic...

The Toe Tag · May 14, 2008, 12:19 AM // 00:19

Least they said something,took them hours just to tell us it was a exploit.
Give it a day or so more details might come out

We knew all along it was an exploit, we just don't know what kind of exploit.
