I would like to report some serious hacking.

[Pummel 10]

I often play on a CTI server called "Tigres Blancs" which is a french server. It's a really nice server and I get a great connection to it.

Tonight, in the middle of a really great game with about 30 or so people playing, the server got hacked by someone. First off they teleported my entire team somewhere on the map, and a message popped up saying pwn or something. Then the screen went blank and a message said,

"UDP FLOODER WAS SENT. THIS SERVER WILL BE SHUTTING DOWN SOON. JOIN ARE SERVER ITS WAY BETTER. TEAM DEADLY AND TRIPLE A. WHY YOU THINK ARE SERVER NEVER GETS SHUT DOWN. CAUSE WE NEED PLAYERS. THIS IS AAA.TRADEMARK SPEAKERS."

I took a picture of this on my phone in case you need proof. The server then shut down. I'm all for competition but this is terrible and surely against the rules? If not illegal maybe?

Please do something. Not only do I hate my favourite server being hacked, but I can't stand to have a great game ruined after playing it for around 4 hours straight and finally reaching a great point in the game..

I spelled Blancs wrong

That kind of hacking is strictly illegal, and the issue has been up on the forum before. However it has been claimed to be an attack to smear the name of the clan in question, by claiming it is them that attack other servers.

Best thing that can be done afaik is to contact the admins of Tigres Blankes and have them ban the user-ID and IP of the attacker (which should be in their server logs).

Ok thanks. It was actually a match with a lot of the Tigres Blancs clan on one team, and general public on the other team, so I'm sure they will already be looking in to it. I hope they can IP ban the offender.

That's exactly why admins password their servers and force everyone to register on their own forums to get to know each player - something no tool can do for you.

Thread title makes me think of Monty Python.

If this happened to our organizations server our attorney would likely be involved shortly after. ;) Cheers!

Not again another topic about this. Way to much attention for those involved I would say.

Search the forums if you want to know more about this, there are enough other locked topics.

People can contact eddieck to receive the ban list with the id's of users causing so many issues.
