Perforator 10 Posted June 11, 2011 You would have thought that the Sony PSN fiasco would have been a wake up call in the industry, but then again I doubt it would take much effort for a hacker to get past Codemasters... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricbar89 0 Posted June 11, 2011 Associating with Codemasters is kinda like hanging out with Colonal Gaddafi and then complaining that you are being targeted by Nato airstrikes. My god people dont half come out with crap sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Innomadic 10 Posted June 11, 2011 Well a corporation isn't a person, and the only people that will get effected directly will be "humans" .. IE the ones whos details were compromised. Well its also going to hurt CM's bottom line, someones also gonna get fired for poor security and the CEO's will give themselves more bonuses because they can...

mrcash2009 0 Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Well its also going to hurt CM's bottom line, someones also gonna get fired for poor security and the CEO's will give themselves more bonuses because they can... And so, staff would be effected (human in a job and employment) humans data effected, no one else. So getting angry at a corporate name is ridiculous.Associating with Codemasters is kinda like hanging out with Colonal Gaddafi and then complaining that you are being targeted by Nato airstrikes. Well no, but if your cousin happened to work in CM with a wife and kids and lost a job over it due to the effects (just as an example not fact) would that be somehow be tuff shit because you didn't like the games, and you would tell them that? I dont like Walmart, but I wouldn't then laugh at staff being sacked or give them grief them for "association " based on some kind of employment, lets get real here. The only people that "could possibly" be angry is everyone with themselves for helping to continue the corporations B.S and bolstering the upper levels CEOS' and big wigs, but that would be about it.

maddogx 13 Posted June 14, 2011 For those of you that haven't heard, Bethesda has been hacked too. (The article is about LulzSec hacking the US senate, but the Bethesda hack is mentioned at the bottom too.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans Ludwig 0 Posted June 14, 2011 LulzSec Hacks Senate Server, Asks Rhetorically "Is This An Act Of War, Gentlemen?" After a major hack of the IMF's website over the weekend promptly scrambled the FBI, just as Operation Empire State Rebellion announced it was taking its attack of the Fed Chairman to the next level (we have yet to see anything here more than just rhetoric), today, the competing hacker group, the one implicated in numerous Sony breakins as well as a recent defacing of an FBI-affiliate, LulzSec, has proven it broke into the Senate's SPARC server and exposed everything that admin chris_vontz@saa.senate.gov apparently was unable to hid sufficiently well. On its website, LulzSecurity left the following preface to the several hundred thousand code-long data dump of everything located in the Senate server: "We don't like the US government very much. Their boats are weak, their lulz are low, and their sites aren't very secure. In an attempt to help them fix their issues, we've decided to donate additional lulz in the form of owning them some more! This is a small, just-for-kicks release of some internal data from Senate.gov - is this an act of war, gentlemen? Problem? - Lulz Security." And what is completely not surprising, following a Dow Jones inquiry, "a Senate representative said she was unaware of any breach of the body's web site." Well it has been breached- anyone curious what is contained in the server can do so here. A cursory investigation does not reveal the exposition of any sensitive data.... This time. Yet one thing LulzSec most certainly acquired was the user/pass combinations of all individuals affiliated with the Senate, and are likely currently actively downloading all their emails. We continue to wonder just how safe the Fed's email server is...
